Justice Klyutch called the court to order.
Every ear in the room strained to hear his decision.
"At the close of yesterday's session," he began, "it was agreed that the court conduct a test to determine the competence of Sar Wisson, accused of incompetence by her husband. The test has been completed.
"It is the opinion of the court that the charge against Mrs. Wisson has no basis in fact. The request for divorce on the grounds of sexual incompetence is, therefore, denied."
An excited babbling swept across the room. It quickly subsided when the warning light indicated that the judge had not finished his pronouncement.
"However," Klyutch continued, "Mrs. Wisson has informed the court that she no longer objects to the divorce and that she is willing to agree to the action on the usual grounds of incompatibility."
Dag was amazed at the sudden turn of events. She couldn't believe what she saw on the newstrip, screaming in maximum bold type.
WISSON DIVORCED!
And, in letters only slightly less emphatic, FIRST-WIFE WITHDRAWS OBJECTION.
