The curious gulf of silence between them!
"I've been to the lawyer about my divorce," he said, a little constrainedly.
She gave a slight shudder.
"Have you!" she said. "And what did he say?"
"He said I ought to have done it before; that may be a difficulty. But since I was in the army, he thinks it will go through all right. If only it doesn't bring her down on my head!"
"Will she have to know?"
"Yes! she is served with a notice: so is the man she lives with, the co-respondent."
"Isn't it hateful, all the performances! I suppose I'd have to go through it with Clifford."
There was a silence.
