Passion is presented to the young wife in so hideous a guise that it will take the utmost consideration of her husband afterward to enable her to completely overcome her repugnance. If she be worn and weary of excesses in the early days of her married life, the husband will have only himself to blame if he is bound all his life to an apathetic and irresponsive wife.
The coast slid by unnoticed. "Lopez was certain," said Fairbairn, "quite certain that this was the developing formula."

She did not answer, and when he spoke, his voice trembled. "But it is impossible you can ever marry him now." "I am not going to marry Owen." "You told him so the other night?" "Yes, I told him, or very nearly, that I could not marry him."
