Übersetzung

To speak frankly, I am not in favour of long engagements. They give people the opportunity of finding out each other’s character before marriage, which I think is never advisable.

Ich bin offen gesagt, kein Freund langer Verlöbnisse. Sie geben den Brautleuten Gelegenheit ihren Charakter schon vor der Hochzeit zu entdecken, was, wie ich meine, niemals ratsam ist.
