Not wisely, but too well.

This is perhaps rather an old observation in my mind by now, but it amuses me sufficiently to remain a thought and I will therefore note of it here.

"I know how much you dislike him.'" 
"You know nothing of the matter. That is all to be forgot. Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now. But in such cases as these, a good memory is unpardonable. This is the last time I shall ever remember it myself.''
...
"I would -- I do congratulate you -- but are you certain? forgive the question -- are you quite certain that you can be happy with him?''
"There can be no doubt of that. It is settled between us already, that we are to be the happiest couple in the world."
...
"And do you really love him quite well enough?... Are you quite sure that you feel what you ought to do?''
"Oh, yes! You will only think I feel more than I ought to do, when I tell you all.''
