'' `` Why must you ? '' `` Honey , you could n't imagine ME being a poor man 's wife , could you ? I ca n't do a single useful thing , and I am VERY extravagant . Oh , no , my husband must have heaps of money . So that narrowed them down to two . But I could n't decide between two any easier than between two hundred . I knew perfectly well that whichever one I chose I 'd regret all my life that I had n't married the other . '' `` Did n't you -- love -- either of them ? '' asked Anne , a little hesitatingly . It was not easy for her to speak to a stranger of the great mystery and transformation of life . `` Goodness , no . I could n't love anybody . It is n't in me . Besides I would n't want to .
