There's a case going on now where a woman in New York City is suing her ex-husband for a divorce on the usual statutory ground, and naming his present wife as co-respondent, though the plaintiff herself divorced him ten years ago in Reno, and he married again immediately after on the strength of it." "I'm feeling stronger every minute!" exclaimed Tutt.
It was bad enough, but not the reason for his distaste. Why the deuce couldn't his nephew have stayed out in South Africa? His own divorce had been bad enough, without his nephew's marriage to the daughter of the co-respondent; a half-sister too of June, and of that boy whom Fleur had just been looking at from under the pump-handle.
Such clean times, all three of them, but how cheap and disgusting they now appeared! For here were bits about Dwight's past, his record with women two were named. He had been a co-respondent once! And his studio was described in detail, with emphasis on a big lounge in one corner! . . . Suddenly it was laughable! And so she laughed at Fanny! And Fanny replied: "You mean he won't believe it!"
"We find that the respondent has not been guilty of misconduct with Hadi Bey." After a slight pause, speaking in a louder voice than before, the clerk of the court said: "Do you find that the respondent has been guilty or not guilty of misconduct with the co-respondent, Aristide Dumeny?" "We find that the respondent has not been guilty of misconduct with Aristide Dumeny."
"I've rather a queer case on hand," said Dane-Latimer, "and some friends of yours are mixed up in it, at least I think I'm right in saying that that picturesque blackguard Konrad Karl of Megalia is a friend of yours." "I hope he's not the co-respondent," said Gorman. "No. No. It's nothing of that sort. In fact, strictly speaking, he's not in it at all. No legal liability.
A flock of reporters sped like hawks for Charity's home, where they were denied admittance; for Cheever's office, where they were told that he was out of town; and even for Zada L'Etoile's apartment, where they were informed that she had left the State, as indeed she had. Sarah Tishler had a right, being named as co-respondent, to enter the case and defend her name, but she waived the privilege.
And yet I, all unacquainted with divorce proceedings, legal separations, and common law ceremonies, was called upon to make this strange man's troubles my own, to sort out his domestic woes, and say: "This sin" is yours, but "that sin" is hers, and "those other sins" belong wholly to the co-respondent. What a useful word that is! It has such a decent sound, almost respectable.
A Collector is usually a sportsman; when he is a poet, a co-respondent, or a neologist it is thought rather a pity; and he is spoken of in undertones. Neology is considered especially reprehensible. A Collector should have no leisure for opinions of any sort. I have said that a Collector is usually a sportsman.
He winced at all points from the uncertainty as to the point to be attacked. His life was like a long frontier and his enemy was mobilized for a sudden offensive. He would know the point selected for the assault when he felt the assault. The first gun was that popular device, a supposititious question. "Mr. Dyckman, you are accused of well, we'll say co-respondence with the co-respondent.
In September the poor king was put to death by co-respondent Mortimer in a painful and sickening manner, after having been most inhumanly treated in Berkeley Castle, whither he had been removed. Thus ends the sad history of a monarch who might have succeeded in a minor position on a hen farm, but who made a beastly fluke in the king business.
