About This Quote
“No, I shall not marry Samuel Fawthrop Wynne.” Doctor Watson says this to Miss Morstan when she asks him what he thinks of Samuel Fawthrop Wynne. He says this because he knows that she is going to be marrying him, and that she had better have a reason for it. The reason that the doctor tells her is because he does not think that she has had enough time with Wynne to truly know him. As a matter of fact, he says that Wynne will do a great deal for Miss Morstan, which is true, but still does not mean she should marry him.
