A List of Fictional Men I Would Marry if Given the Chance (In No Particular Order) - Roger Hamley, Elizabeth Gaskell’s Wives and Daughters

If he went to Africa, he ran some deadly chances; he knew better what they were now than he had done before. Until his return he would not even attempt to win more of her love than he already had. But once safe home again, no weak fancies as to what might or might not be her answer should prevent his running all chances to gain the woman who was to him the one who excelled all. His was not a poor vanity that thinks more of the possible mortification of a refusal than of the precious jewel of a bride that may be won. Somehow or another, please god send him back safe, he would put his fate to the touch. And till then he would be patient. He was no longer a boy to rush at the coveted object; he was a man capable of judging and abiding.
