No man
worth his salt, no man of spirit and spine, no man
for whom I could have any respect, could rejoice in
the identification of Tallulah's husband. It's tough
enough to be bogged down in a legend. It would be
even tougher to marry one.

You --
poor and obscure, and small and plain as you are --

The
bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who
discovers that her husband's bravery is only
bravado, that his strength is only a uniform, that
his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool.
