Divorce should be for one cause only--the cause to which Our Lord gave a qualified approval; and Bridget has never been unfaithful--in act or desire, to her husband.

I would maintain this in spite of the most damning testimony, and you must in your heart believe it also.

Besides, your testimony is ridiculously inadequate.
I am glad, however, that you have at last made your accusations in detail--in order, as you say--that I--and Bridget, incidentally, I suppose--should fully understand why you are adopting this attitude towards her.

I'm glad too, that you do not mean to make any use of the evidence against her and are prepared to take all the blame for the unhappy state of affairs between you! I write sarcastically.

Why, it would be monstrous if you had any other intention! Oh, how I hate this pedantic roundabout way of writing! I feel inclined to tear up these sheets--I've torn up two already.
