Many and many a time I have said, after glancing at the back of a letter, "This comes from an insane asylum, or from an eccentric who might well be a candidate for such an institution." Number Seven's manuscript, which showed marks of my corrections here and there, furnished good examples of the chirography of persons with ill-mated cerebral hemispheres.
Her gross husband is so repulsive to her that her babies are conceived as in some devil's dream and brought forth in despair. Thank heaven this ill-mated couple are not Catholics. But had they been: does Archbishop Cleary mean to tell me that all the power of the Church of Rome could have rendered their union holy?
How old are you?" "Twenty-two." "Tell me your relations with your father." "We were most constant companions. My mother she and my father they were not altogether companionable in short, they were ill-mated, and, being wise enough to find it out, and having no desire to longer embitter each other's lives, they agreed to separate when I was only four.
In, marriage we do all three when we're ill-mated. We steal affection from some one else, we lie in our lives and we sin in our relationship." Ethel asked him very quietly: "Do you mean that you are a sinner, a thief, and a liar?" Brent looked at her in horror. "Oh, take some of the blame," said Ethel; "don't put it all on the woman." "You've never spoken to me like this before."
It did not matter to her now that she was in the home of his wife or that his love was complicated with so much that was apparently evil. She loved him. She had thought all night about him, not sleeping. Being so young, it was hard for her to reason clearly as yet, but somehow it seemed to her that he was very unhappily placed, terribly ill-mated, and that he needed her.
There is more sin in the HEARTS and MINDS of these poor, wretched, ill-mated people than in the sinks of Europe. There is some hope for the vicious. Intelligence and common-sense will wean them from it. But there is no hope for the people whose lives from the cradle to the grave are drab and empty and sordid and wretched."
You writers have ended by making ridiculous all women who think they are misunderstood, or ill-mated, and who try to make themselves dramatically interesting, attempts which seem to me, I must say, intolerably vulgar. There are but two things for women in that plight to do, yield, and all is over; resist, and amuse themselves; in either case they should keep silence.
I set my heart on the match, helped it in every, way, and until now nothing but sorrow has come of it. But my point is this, I see so clearly, now that it is too late, that two excellent persons may demoralize each other if they are ill-mated.
He had never known a mother's care, for Margaret Ward, a bright-faced woman, ill-mated, so they said, with the minister, never recovered strength after her son's birth. She lingered for a year, and then died. They laid her body in Templeastra Graveyard, near the sea.
He loved her, too, so foolishly and fondly that he had fashioned the whole of his life so that it should be in harmony with hers, making sacrifices of which he had told her nothing in order that he might surround her an ill-mated, neglected wife with a wordless atmosphere of devotion which had become to her as vital, as necessary, as is that of domestic peace and happiness to the average woman.
