"Of course," Westley replied.
Not getting the answer she expected, Buttercup tried again. "We certainly had more than our share of adventures, no one can deny it. And true love... to have that, we must be the most blessed of creatures."
"Surely the most blessed," Westley agreed.
"But," Buttercup said then, trying for frivolity, "thus far, the unalloyed fact that shines out is this: we have only kissed."
"What else is there?" Westley asked. He touched his lips lightly to her cheek, sighed. "Surely there could be nothing more."

So if this is the guy that wrote it, who is "S. Morgan Stern"?
the movie has the grandpa-reading-to-kid storyline overlaying the main one. The book adds a 3rd one on top - editing the (fictional) Morganstern manuscript.
which is extraneous. i'm impressed with how the book was edited for the movie. whoever decided what stayed and what went, did a fantastic job.
