Morality
has
always
been
declared
unnecessary
for
men
--
it
is
becoming
equally
unnecessary
for
women
!
"
I
stared
at
her
,
amazed
at
the
glibness
of
her
speech
,
and
the
cool
convincing
manner
in
which
she
spoke
,
after
her
recent
access
of
passion
and
excitement
.
"
You
have
only
to
read
the
'
new
'
fiction
,
"
--
she
went
on
,
a
mocking
smile
lighting
up
her
pale
face
,
"
and
indeed
all
'
new
'
literature
generally
,
to
be
assured
that
your
ideas
of
domestic
virtue
are
quite
out
of
date
.
Both
men
and
women
are
,
according
to
certain
accepted
writers
of
the
day
,
at
equal
liberty
to
love
when
they
will
,
and
where
they
may
.
Polygamous
purity
is
the
'
new
'
creed
!
Such
love
,
in
fact
,
so
we
are
taught
,
constitutes
the
only
'
sacred
'
union
.
If
you
want
to
alter
this
'
movement
,
'
and
return
to
the
old-fashioned
types
of
the
modest
maiden
and
the
immaculate
matron
,
you
must
sentence
all
the
'
new
'
writers
of
profitable
pruriency
to
penal
servitude
for
life
,
and
institute
a
Government
censorship
of
the
modern
press
.
As
matters
stand
,
your
attitude
of
the
outraged
husband
is
not
only
ridiculous
--
it
is
unfashionable
.
I
assure
you
I
do
not
feel
the
slightest
prick
of
conscience
in
saying
I
love
Lucio
--
any
woman
might
be
proud
of
loving
him
;
--
he
,
however
,
will
not
,
or
can
not
love
me
--
we
have
had
a
'
scene
,
'
and
you
have
completed
the
dramatic
effect
by
witnessing
it
--
there
is
no
more
to
be
said
or
done
in
the
affair
.
I
do
not
suppose
you
can
divorce
me
--
but
if
you
can
,
you
may
--
I
shall
make
no
defence
.
"
She
turned
,
as
if
to
go
;
--
I
still
stared
dumbly
at
her
,
finding
no
words
to
cope
with
her
effrontery
--
when
Lucio
's
voice
,
attuned
to
a
grave
and
soothing
suavity
,
interposed
--
"
This
is
a
very
painful
and
distressing
state
of
things
,
"
--
he
said
,
and
the
strange
half-cynical
,
half
contemptuous
smile
still
rested
on
his
lips
--
"
but
I
must
positively
protest
against
the
idea
of
divorce
,
not
only
for
her
ladyship
's
sake
,
but
my
own
.
I
am
entirely
innocent
in
the
matter
!
"
"
Innocent
!
"
I
exclaimed
,
grasping
him
again
by
the
hand
;
"
You
are
nobility
itself
,
Lucio
!
--
as
loyal
a
friend
as
ever
man
had
!
I
thank
you
for
your
courage
--
for
the
plain
and
honest
manner
in
which
you
have
spoken
.
I
heard
all
you
said
!
Nothing
was
too
strong
--
nothing
could
be
too
strong
to
awaken
this
misguided
woman
to
a
sense
of
her
outrageous
conduct
--
her
unfaithfulness
--
--
"
"
Pardon
me
!
"
he
interrupted
delicately
--
"
The
Lady
Sibyl
can
scarcely
be
called
unfaithful
,
Geoffrey
.
She
suffers
--
--
from
--
--
let
us
call
it
,
a
little
exaltation
of
nerves
!
In
thought
she
may
be
guilty
of
infidelity
,
but
society
does
not
know
that
--
and
in
act
she
is
pure
--
pure
as
the
newly-driven
snow
--
and
as
the
newly-driven
snow
,
will
society
,
itself
immaculate
,
regard
her
!
"
His
eyes
glittered
--
I
met
his
chill
derisive
glance
.
"
You
think
as
I
do
,
Lucio
!
"
I
said
hoarsely
--
"
You
feel
with
me
,
that
a
wife
's
unchaste
thought
is
as
vile
as
her
unchaste
act
.
There
is
no
excuse
--
no
palliative
for
such
cruel
and
abominable
ingratitude
.
Why
,
"
--
and
my
voice
rose
unconsciously
as
I
turned
fiercely
again
towards
Sibyl
--
"
Did
I
not
free
you
and
your
family
from
the
heavy
pressure
of
poverty
and
debt
?
Have
I
grudged
you
anything
?
Are
you
not
loaded
with
jewels
?
--
have
you
not
greater
luxuries
and
liberties
than
a
queen
?
And
do
you
not
owe
me
at
least
some
duty
?
"
