"Romantic love was a concept Claire despised. In fact, she despised emotion generally; chaotic, destructive stuff, enemy of personal progress. Romance, Claire concluded, was only 19th century device for the subjugation of women. After all, the world was not completely free of the 19th century attitudes. So a woman needed to go along with the pretense of love for the sake of marriage, which was still a necessary evil. A thick in the marriage box was only something you had to have in order to protect yourself from the bad opinion of others."
