CHAPTER III
12/28

"A divorce is a jump in the dark," said another.
"No, it ain't.

"A divorce is the comedy of the rich and the tragedy of the poor," said a little man who wore glasses.
"Divorce is a nice smushy poultice that may help but won't heal," cut in a new voice.
"Divorce is a guidepost marked, 'Hell to Heaven,' but lots of folks miss the way, just the same, I notice," spoke up somebody with a chuckle.
"Divorce is a coward's retreat from the battle of life." Captain Harris said this.

He spoke slow and decided.

Captain Harris is old and rich and not married.
