[From the Housetops by George Barr McCutcheon]@TWC D-Link bookFrom the Housetops CHAPTER XIII 42/50
But don't you see how it is? The law cannot say that we shall not love each other.
Now can it? It can only say that we are free to love some one else if we feel so inclined without being the least bit troubled by our marriage vows.
But George and I are still married to each other, and we are still thinking of our marriage vows.
The simple fact that we love each other proves a whole lot, now doesn't it, Simmy? We are divorced right enough,--South Dakota says so,--but we refuse to think of ourselves as anything but husband and wife, lover and sweetheart.
Down in our hearts we loved each other more on the day the divorce was granted than ever before, and we've never stopped loving.
