She tells her husband that she committed adultery and
she tells him this in order induce him TO love her

The husband forgves his wife for committing adultery
and continues live with her and love her, though
nothing had happened.
The husband forsves the man who committed aAuiery

him.
The husband who has been injured by his wcs adul-
terry fearing that there will be rupture between him
self and the adultcrer gets third party TO act as
mutual friend TO keep them good terms.
The husband, whose wife has committed adultery gers
another man to help them keep the secret
lie ages for the purpose tho proprietor OF

lie takes all these for secrecy when he alone

The man who forgive his wife's adultery cannot
