‘Ah! but then the other women are only mistresses,’ exclaimed Isolda. ‘One might tolerate that unwillingly, but another legal wife, with rights equal to one’s own or, worse, with children to compete with one’s own never!’
The way was very long and difficult, with many turnings and windings through towns and villages. How often had Anthony and Molly heard the story of Tristan and Isolda, and Anthony had thought the story applied to him, although Tristan means born in sorrow, which Anthony certainly was not; nor was it likely he would ever say of Molly as Tristan said of Isolda, "She has forgotten me."
Then take the case of the Robinsons: Dick Jones adores Mrs Robinson and is utterly wretched because he can only be a friend to her. She is very fond of him, and fond of her husband too; she could make them both very happy if they would share her.’ ‘I have often felt I could make two men happy,’ said Isolda. ‘Some of my best points are wasted on Launcelot.
"Isolda," exclaimed Carlos, performing the ceremony of introduction, "this, as you will of course have guessed, is my old friend and chum, Jack Singleton, to whom we are so deeply indebted for the very valuable assistance that he has rendered us in our great undertaking. He is the best friend and comrade that ever lived, therefore give him a cordial welcome, for my sake, dear."

‘No such luck,’ said Isolda, mournfully, ‘when a man marries it’s mostly for a home why else should he marry unless it’s for the children? Good gracious! I’d forgotten all about the children. Of course that settles
This time it does not immediately arouse Isolda to fury; for now her purpose is set to kill Tristan: take her revenge and end her own life of misery. "Once beloved, now removed, brave and bright, coward knight. She sends Brangaena to order Tristan to come into her tent.
Then Andre was full of his plans for the future, and Isolda stroked his fair hair, remarking that he must be feeling very tired.
