... know it. Some may get prizes and some may not. No one knows before he draws whether he will draw a blank or a prize. This is their conclusion. They did not court in the right way! They courted by impulse and not by judgement. It was a process of going steady and not of discovery. It was an effort to please and not a search for companionship. It was done with excitement and not with calmness and deliberation. It was done in haste and not with cautious prudence. It was a vision of the heart and not a solemn reality.
