Johnny is her fifth husband, the one she marries for love rather than money, and to whom she gives everything!. She describes him as handsome and although he beat her, she says:

"But in our bed he was so fresh and gay,
So coaxing and persuasive!.!.Heaven knows
Though he had beaten me in every bone
He still could wheedle me to love, I own!.
I think I loved him best, I'll tell no lie!."

Johnny is a student and a scholar, and he strikes her because she tore a page out of one of his books!. He is always scolding her and because she goes out a lot to visit her friends!. One day he strikes her for tearing pages out of one of his books, and she lies on the floor as if she is dead!. Aghast, Johnny promises to give her the sovereignty in marriage, and she makes him burn his book!. And from then on they are kind to each other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
