But I will say to you, in strict confidence, please, that if you and your husband are sincerely attached to each other there is nothing on earth she can do to separate you." "Attached!" exclaimed Mrs Null.

"It would be impossible for us to be more attached than we are.

We never have had the slightest difference, even of opinion, since our wedding day.

Why, I believe that we are more like one person than any married couple in the world." "I am very glad to hear it," said Mr Brandon, finishing his buttermilk--"very glad indeed.

And, feeling as you do, I am certain that nothing your aunt can say will make any impression on you in regard to seeking a divorce." "I should think not!" said Mrs Null, sitting up very straight.
