Dearest Tuni,Oh, Fortuna! You'd be silly to think a true gentleman would continue to pursue a career that would force his wife to work! What if you were to marry and have children?
And I hardly believe the museum director would be irresponsible enough to allow his employee to continue working while she is with child! While you know I would never encourage a woman to marry for status over love, neither would I encourage a woman to risk her stability for a gentleman. Your love may wither into resentment if you are unable to sustain a comfortable standard of living.
(Unless, of course, you desire to be a childless wife!)
With love,
Cousin Dolly
