For a day or two after this notable encounter between tabooer and taboo-breaker, Philip moved about in a most uneasy state of mind. Indeed, so deeply did he regret his involuntary part in this painful escapade that he never mentioned a word of it to Robert Monteith; nor did Frida either. To say the truth, husband and wife were seldom confidential one with the other.
The most striking instance of such a taboo-breaker is the man or woman who disregards the prohibition against marriage within the kin in other words, violates the law of exogamy. To be thus guilty of incest is to incite in the community at large a horror which, venting itself in what Bagehot calls a "wild spasm of wild justice," involves certain death for the offender.
