Excerpt from RevengeIn the lives of these two young people there was no middle distance. The result was bound to be either love or hate, and in the case of Mr. And Mrs. Bodman it was hate of the most bitter and arrogant kind.In some parts of the world incompatibility of tem per is considered a just cause for Obtaining a divorce, but in England no such subtle distinction is made, and so until the wife became criminal, or the man be came both criminal and cruel, these two were linked together by a bond that only death could sever. Nothing can be worse than this state of things, and the matter was only made the more hopeless by the fact that Mrs. Bodman lived a blameless life, and her husband was no worse, but rather better, than the majority Of men. Perhaps, however, that statement held only up to a certain point, for John Bodman had reached a state Of mind in which he resolved to get rid Of his Wife at all hazards. If he had been a poor man he would probably have deserted her, but he was rich, and a man cannot freely leave a prosper ing business because his domestic life happens not to be happy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
