Yes, so I heard.
SYLVESTER.
She was no wife to me. For years our marriage has been a mockery, and it was best to put an end to it. Now I am free.
MARGERY.
Because you’ve left your wife?
SYLVESTER.
It’s no use beating about the bush. Things have gone too far, and I’m too much in earnest. She loves your husband. It is common talk. I’ve shut my eyes as long as possible, and you’ve shut yours; but we both know the truth.
MARGERY.
That you’ve deserted her!
SYLVESTER.
