Edwitha, his wife, looked up, her eyes sparkling through quick tears. "I was hoping you'd say that, Wilfrid," she said with eager wistfulness. "I've longed so to know but he'd lived there since our fathers and mothers were children. 'Twould ha' been like taking the soul out of his body to drive him away."
"You shall see her and judge for yourself. How's all here?" Wilfrid smiled rather sheepishly. "You and your wife must come and stay with us," he insisted. "We'll make you welcome, spite of being a bit upset. Edwitha has been taking holiday. We're digging up the farm to see what's at the other end of Cold Harbor, lad." "Make no ado about us," Alan protested.
I think I could take up the argument where I left off, and by following it closely awhile, perhaps I could prove to your satisfaction, either that you never existed at all, or that you are dead now, and consequently don't need the faithless Edwitha I think I could do that, if it would afford you any comfort.
Any man has a right to protect his own wife from the advances of other men. But you have another alternative you were married to Edwitha first, because of your deliberate intention, and now you can prosecute her for bigamy, in subsequently marrying Jones.
"Old Judge Kirby called this morning to see Aunt Izzie; I was studying in the little room, but I saw him come in, and pull out the big chair and sit down, and I almost screamed out 'don't!" "Why?" cried the children. "Don't you see? I had stuffed 'Edwitha' down between the back and the seat.
Any change, good or bad, is a loss to some one the land is so full of the life of the past. Wilfrid and Edwitha well understood this, though they would never have put it into fine phrases. They could not have said it except to each other, and for that there was no need of speech.
And ergo, in the strict spirit of the law, since you deliberately intended to marry Edwitha, and didn't do it, you are married to her all the same because, as I said before, the intention constitutes the crime. It is as clear as day that Edwitha is your wife, and your redress lies in taking a club and mutilating Jones with it as much as you can.
But there is another phase in this complicated case: You intended to marry Edwitha, and consequently, according to law, she is your wife there is no getting around that; but she didn't marry you, and if she never intended to marry you, you are not her husband, of course.
