Quote #10
Soon there will be a wedding. Papa says that when the preacher asks if he will have Sarah for his wife, he will answer, "Ayuh." (9.61)
Although Jacob isn't a big talker, he can see how much Sarah is giving up in order to marry him. So he likes to remind her in small ways that he knows where she comes from—and that he'll incorporate elements from her old home (like the word "ayuh") in the new life that they build together.
