[Mary Marie by Eleanor H. Porter]@TWC D-Link bookMary Marie CHAPTER III 12/28
We know a lot more things sometimes than folks think we do.
Well, as near as I can remember it was like this: "A divorce is a knife that cuts a knot that hadn't ought to ever been tied," said one. "A divorce is a jump in the dark," said another. "No, it ain't.
It's a jump from the frying-pan into the fire," piped up Mr.Jones. "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.
