"Now I'm an ignorant old man. I judge things as an ignorant man should--by the light of common sense. But I didn't say to you, Cordelia, 'You're a fool, throwing yourself away on that man,' did I?"
She shook her head.
"I didn't say to you, 'Look what you're doing; you've just got out of one bad marriage, now you're going to jump into another.' Why didn't I say that? Because I knew you wouldn't take any notice. And besides--it's not for me to manage your life. People should mind their own business. That's what's been wrong with Frederick--trying to interfere. When I feel like that I say to myself, God doesn't interfere. Do I think myself cleverer than God?"
"And that if you're a bit more experienced and a bit more choosy next time you may find one who's neither a weakling nor a knave. People aren't born wise in this life, they buy experience, and if they're lucky they buy it in time. You're not an unlucky heart-broken woman; you're lucky, lucky because you've learnt so much--I hope--and still so young. Stop being sorry for yourself and use your head again!"
