Too true Written by Katharina (9/23/2005 9:10 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Long engagements to Navy men, penned by Maisy

but all of those things could have taken place had they married, the worst case scenario would have left Anne a very young widow (probably with children). All in all I think being a slightly older maid is preferable - in the context of the marriage market I mean. So a prolonged engagement sounds like a reasonable compromise in the situation.
