He wished to ring about a mare cordial and bealthy relation between mah and wife, and invited the husband to visit hits for this purpose. He expressed his willingnes to do so. On his actival the priest suggested that ho should make unreserved corfassion of his trespasses and offences. No," said he,." by my fait there is no need for that, for I know very well that my wife has told you all my offences and ranah raste than ever I commit
