"And it is decided?"
"Nothing can change me. His intimacy with that woman gave her influence enough to poison his mind with thoughts that should never enter the heart of a true man. This was reason enough, if love ever reasoned; but his power is gone from me. I could never live with a man who had once been, even partially, controlled by a woman like that."
"Did you give him this reason?"
"As I have given it now."
"And he considers it as final?"
"Undoubtedly. I am glad he came—glad that he has spoken; for it sets me free—heart and soul."
I kissed her fervently, thanking God for this great deliverance.
