The Widow & Her Hero
“I don't intend to stay in the army after the war, and so I don't have to kowtow to anyone. I'm surprised a regular officer would come to other officers' doors making the accusations you did. And I won't have my wife upset by outbursts.
I had to queue – I saw Rufus giving him a bit of a shellacking too. But Enright's face remained set though he was very pale. He was probably copping mullock from his girlfriend as well, and so he should.
Later, he came to Rufus and me voluntarily. He said, Unfort...unate scene this morning. That bloody woman has the power to put everyone in the wrong. Sorry for anything untoward I said. The woman knows I'm seeking a divorce, and that's that.
Divorce is a big enough disadvantage for a professional officer, though many colleagues have remarked to me how inappropriate a soldier's wife Susan makes. And of course, I overlook anything extreme you might have said. Can we all be men about this? And gentlemen as well?
That was as good as we could hope for. Rufus nodded with a half-smile on his face.MoreLess
