"All that!" he said grimly.
There was a long silence.
"We could go right away," he said.
"There is no right away for Connie," said Hilda. "Clifford is too well known."
Again the silence of pure frustration.
"The world is what it is. If you want to live together without being persecuted, you will have to marry. To marry, you both have to be divorced. So how are you both going about it?"
He was silent for a long time.
"How are you going about it for us?" he said.
"We will see if Duncan will consent to figure as co-respondent: then we must get Clifford to divorce Connie: and you must go on with your divorce, and you must both keep apart till you are free."
"Sounds like a lunatic asylum."
