GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES
DON'T MARRY THE WRONG SISTER

upon his return from Paris. lie relieved
his mind by confiding in Forester the
truth of the matter over which he had
been so long brooding. After 20 years
of welded life Dickens concluded that
he and his wife were mot made for each
other TT is not only that she makes
me uneasy and unhappy" he explained,
but that l make her so, too-and much
more so. Her temperament will not go
with mine. 1t mattered not so much
when we had only ourselves to consider,
but reasons have been occurring since
which makes it all but hopeless that we
should even try to struggle on.
Dickens was generous enough to claim
no immunity from blame. There is plen-
ty of fault on my side. | dare say, in the
way of thousand uncertainties and diff
culties of disposition, but only one thing
will alter all that, and that is the end
which alters everything
Attempts were made by Dickens friends
to adjust the unfortunate differences that
had arisen, but their efforts proved fruit
less circumstances being unfavorable to
such a course. In May of 1858 Dickens
and his wife mutually agreed to separate,
tn eeldest son going to live with his
mother, and the other children remained
with their father.
In David Copperfeld,' seven years be-
fore, Dickens had significantly written:
EInere can De no disparity IN marriage
! like unsuitability of mind and purpose. 1t
would have been better for me If my Wife
could have helped me more and shared
the many thoughts in which | had no
partner
That there were intermutual mistakes
is probably enough. and this assumption
will account for the fact that some of
Dickens friends remained loyal to him
while others considered his wife the ag-
grieved party.
One of the chief troubles. according to
Edmund Yates, was generally ascribed
to irritablity on account of the literary
temperament on Dickens part, and on
Mrs. Dickens side of a love of Incidence
and ease. such as, however provoking
to their husbands. is not uncommon
among middle-aged matrons with large
families.
Various reasons have been assigned to
the Dickens estrangement, but Carlisle
wrote regarding certain gossip. Fact of
separation, l believe. is true, but all the
rest is mere lies and nonsense. No crime
and no misdemeanor specifically on either
side; unhappy together, these two, good
many years past, and they at length end
1t.
