Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

"Away up here in the woods let's think it
out! Let's discuss James Minturn in every phase of his nature and see if
the big manly part doesn't far outweigh the little irritations. Let's see
if you can't possibly go to the meeting he wants when we return with a
balance struck in his favour. A divorced woman is always--well, it's
disagreeable. Alone you'd feel stranded. Attempt marrying again, where
would you find a man with half the points that count for good, to replace
him? In after years when your children realize the man he is, how are you
going to explain to them why you couldn't live with him?"
"From your rush of words, it is evident you have your arguments at hand,"
said Mrs. Minturn. "You've been thinking more about my affairs than I ever
did. You bring up points I never have thought of; you make me see things
that would not have occurred to me; yet as you put them, they have awful
force. You haven't exactly said it, but what you mean is that you believe
_me_ in the wrong; so do all my friends.
