The requested favor is a divorce, which you would think the betrayed party would be more than happy to grant. But she’s not! She won’t! You see, if their marriage ends, his life would continue relatively undisturbed. But for her — an ex-wife at the turn of the 20th century — her life would never be the same. Her so-called friends would cut ties, her reputation would be ruined, and don’t get me started on what the church would do.
