But Roland merely shrugged. “Then I’ll have to be careful not to give her any encouragement. I have no objections to fraternizing with the working class, myself, but the family would not approve of her.”

“You’re rich enough. You can marry any girl you want. Your family will get over it.”

“I don’t have any money of my own. My family will cut me off if I don’t marry the princess.”

“Oh,” said Terry, who understood Roland’s situation quite well. “Money is always a barrier.” It was odd how people looked at it. Of course you needed enough money to be comfortable, and you had to take care of your girl-friend’s needs, but beyond that it just got weird. What if a seventy-year-old man married a seventeen-year-old girl? It happened sometimes, and then people told you how sorry they felt for her. They wondered what sort of hardship or desperation forced the poor girl to marry that lecherous old pervert. Unless the old man was seriously rich. Then perceptions changed. The girl was considered a gold-digging hussy who somehow tricked a befuddled old man into matrimony.
