!

"He was not perfect, but he was doing the best he could.

and

"Because these two people were

different, temperamentally they may have been incompatible one with the other, the wife may find that she cannot live with her husband-indeed, it may possibly be that her health has suffered by contiguity with a man with whom she has never been in sympathy -It does not prove cruelty."
