9. Trust. In itself it's a fundamental part of being a Spartan. In a phalanx, you have to trust that your comrades are standing there, shoulder-to-shoulder with you or else it fails. And trust then spills out into every other aspect of life, but especially between lovers.
15. As I said to my wife, Honestly, no, I don't. I do believe in Fate, though.
24. Hmmm... Be patient. If you are that, then the person you've been waiting for, even if you never realized it, will come into your life.
30. Neither and both. And that's just two of what makes Caroline so wonderful. She is beautiful inside and out.
38. Maybe, I'm really not sure. My first two marriages were according to Spartan law and for the sole purpose of producing Spartan children, not love marriages. And as it turned out that it was me incapable of producing children, those wives eventually found fertile Spartan warriors to make babies with. Your daughter is my third marriage, and though I was no hermit in between (and we are talking nearly 2500 years), I never misrepresented myself to wanting anything more than sex or companionship to any interim lover.
44. No, I don't believe I'm any of those three, but Comte, don't mistake that for a reluctance to stand up for or defend my wife should the need arise. *serious stare followed quickly by a flash of his grin*
