Rory knew Eliza didn’t realize that a cold beer is what calmed his stomach and nerves before marrying the most amazing girl in the world.
She glowed while walking down the aisle, with her best friend Jane in front of her. Her face was his light. He found her to be a plain girl, but Rory had no clue how to explain that plain was never just “plain” when it was describing her, and that plain was the prettiest she could be. They put their new rings on soon after, and they kissed, and ate cake, and filled the room with their immense love.
Eliza had been the former astronomy professor’s caretaker while he was sick, and on their wedding day she made the promise that she would be by his side in sickness and in health.

    It is important to note that Eliza is the one with something at stake in this conversation, essentially her freedom, yet Boyer is the one so adamant on convincing her to conform. From the choices Boyer has made in his vocabulary and simply his persistence in the matter, shows that no, he may not be able to arraign Eliza’s conduct, but he absolutely has the ability to illuminate why her desires are not socially acceptable. This interaction of discourse is being relayed to a Mr. T. Selby, one of Boyer’s friends, who of course will find Eliza’s desires just as obscene shown by the simple addressee of the letter, to enlighten Mr. Selby of how the “happy day will be fixed [to be married]” in spite of Eliza’s response against such a thing.
