Excerpt from Steeplejack, Vol. 2Did you ever hear the story of the man who proposed remarriage to his divorced wife? She was one of the old guard who sighs but never surrenders. A skinny girl with guilty eyes, her soul had become a slumbering forest. But she was faithful to her alimony. There fore, when her husband became imprudent, She calmly answered: You always were so impetuousl He was one of those men to whom God has given a forehead as Russian peasants say of the bald. Her pent-up cas cades of tenderness not freely flowing he went away in a huff and remarried his other divorced wife. But the first lady's bank-account knew no husband. She re mained single and an alimonist in perpetuity. It was certainly the end of an imperfect day. The moral is not afar to seek. I had been unfaithful to my birth place. I had hankered after the ¿esh-pots of Paris. These failing, I had returned to my lawful first love.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
