A great many people are wretched who would have been perfectly happy with another partner. ‘In the inequalities of temperament lies the main cause of unhappiness in marriage. Want of harmony in tastes counts for much, but a misfit in temperament for more.’ So ludicrously mismated are some couples that one wonders how they could ever have dreamed of finding happiness together.
"He has some swimming trunks, two collars, two shirts, some mismated socks, homemade fishing tackle and a battered baseball bat. We came away surreptitiously to escape detection by the trio left behind. I knew you wouldn't welcome his presence but he said he was coming anyway, so we thought we might as well bring him and express him back."
Ain't the kind of a man fer her nary bit. A rum bottle is the only comp'ny he keers fer." They often spoke of the pathetic loneliness of this good-looking, kindly, mismated woman. Jack and Solomon reached the council on the fifth day of their travel. There, a level plain in the forest was covered with Indians and the snow trodden smooth. Around it were their tents and huts and houses.
As though he had vanished into thin air, as though he had never existed, not a trace of Larry the Bat remained except the heap of rags upon the floor, the battered slouch hat, the frayed trousers, the patched boots with their broken laces, the mismated socks, the grimy flannel shirt, and the old coat that he had just discarded.
His manner of wearing an invisible cloak, sword and buckler, though actually garbed in ready-mades, thrilled her. She had come of a good family; he of, seemingly, no family at all.

At least, Sam Pardee failed.
The greenish light burned brighter in his mismated eyes, which gazed intently at the top of her head as though it held something unearthly. "Take off your hat!" was his next command. She pulled off the toque. Her hair fell in a mass on her snow-blotched shoulders. Her captor advanced upon her. He reached out and satisfied himself by touch that something was not there which he dreaded.
'Oh, why, why, my unfortunate husband, did you die in my chamber at this hour! she said piteously to the corpse. 'Why not have died in your own cottage if you would die! Then nobody would ever have known of our imprudent union, and no syllable would have been breathed of how I mismated myself for love of you!
"Oh Oh " Madeleine twisted her hands in her lap and stared at them. "You you cannot help being what you are. I long since ceased to find fault with you " "Yes, when you ceased to love me! When you found that we were hopelessly mismated. When you gave up." "I I'm very fond of you still. How could I help it when you are so good to me?" "I have no doubt of your friendship or of your fidelity.
