So he stopped torturing himself

that under no circumstances would

that she had only herself, to blame.

She no longer controlled her nerves

him in q moment of plying and
almost hysterical chivalry; to his
statement that he would think of
nothing but her TO happiness; to her
belief that men like her husband

Now In Justice to Manners II

not promised her a divorce. He had
merely accepted the idea of one.
