But for once in a way, the lady was not in the position of a divorcee. Exhausted, but not satiated with pleasure, I left her at day-break, assuring her that when we met again she would find me the same; and with that I went to hide in the confessional, fearing lest the growing light might betray me to the beadle.
She had asked the Church for her freedom and had been threatened with exile. Then her husband had demanded his freedom and forced her to choose between blackening her own soul with the brand "divorcee" or blackening her husband's mistress's baby's soul with the brand "illegitimate." She had preferred to take the shame upon herself. But who would give her credit?
Maurice was annoyed with himself; he could not yet see, and no wonder, for it was involved! but I am angry that the widow and the divorcée both have motors and I none! "Poor Odette she hates taxis! Why should she not have a motor? You are grinchant, mon cher! since she takes you out, too!"
I was not so sure about the after house. As I have said, owing to the small size, of the vessel, and the fact that considerable of the space had been used for baths, there were, besides the family, only two guests, a Mrs. Johns, a divorcee, and a Mr. Vail. Mrs. Turner and Miss Lee shared the services of a maid, Karen Hansen, who, with a stewardess, Henrietta Sloane, occupied a double cabin.
"Well, Youngster," laughed the Journalist, "it will have to be 'after the war, as you will probably have to go to Berlin to find her." "That's all right!" retorted the Youngster. "I am going with the Allied armies." We all jumped up. "No!" cried the Divorcée. "No!!" "But I am. Where's the good of keeping it secret?
"You would marry a divorcée?" she asked. "I would marry your sister anyhow, under any circumstances," he answered. She looked at him curiously. "I want to ask you a question," she said abruptly. "This wonderful affection of yours for my sister, does it date from your first meeting with her in Paris?" He hesitated.
This is how my day ended . Maurice and piquet then the widow and the divorcée for dinner and now alone again! The sickening rot of it all. Sunday Nina came for tea she feels that I am a great comfort to her in this moment of her life, so full of indecision It seems that Jim has turned up too, at the Ritz, where Rochester still is, and that his physical charm has upset all her calculations again.
"In Madge's eyes the woman who married an innocent divorcee was no more than his mistress."
She shrank back with a shudder, crying out that he should spare her her own contempt that he should leave her the power to seek peace and her voice had such a tone of terror, as she recoiled from him, that he felt how powerless any protest would be. He stepped aside. Without looking at him she quickly opened the door and passed out. The Divorcée nervously rolled up her manuscript.
On the other hand the divorcee, obeying her own code, had obstinately ignored the wife of Jim Orgreave, a younger brother, who, according to the universal opinion, had married disgracefully. When the sisters-in-law had embraced, with that unconvincing fulsomeness which is apt to result from a charitable act of oblivion, Janet turned lovingly to George and asked after his mother.
