Quote by Henry Fielding

When widows exclaim loudly against second marriages, I would always lay a wager that the man, if not the wedding day, is absolutely fixed on.

When widows exclaim loudly against second marriages, I would

Summary

This quote suggests that when widows strongly oppose second marriages, it is likely because they themselves have already identified a potential suitor. It implies that their vocal objections are a result of their own desires and personal attachment to a specific person, rather than genuine concern for the institution of marriage or the widow's well-being. The quote implies a somewhat cynical view of the motivations behind strong opposition to second marriages by widows.
