The Law and the Woman
Excerpts from Mr. Clyne�s Admonitions to Mrs. Granger and the
Latter�s Opinion of the U.S. Attorney.
Clyne Said to Her:
�Your husband is in France.
�He is offering his life for you and for me.
�He is brave; fighting for country, home, family.
�He expected you to be good and brave while away and
honorable in all things.
�Is this your answer to him; the reward of his faith?
�That�s right, cry; you ought to cry
�You out to get on your knees and pray to your God for
forgiveness.
�Think of your husband and mother.
�Think of the torment acts like this give other husbands in
the army if they hear of one wife�s faithlessness.
�That�s right cry — cry your head off.
She Said of Clyne:
�I cried just to oblige him.
�He was very mournful; very much the preacher.
�He wanted me to get down on my knees and pray for
forgiveness from God, my mother, and my husband.
�He wanted me to wear �sack cloth and ashes.�
�I really believe he tried to imitate Billy Sunday.
�I showed penance by crying
�There�s no reason for my husband worrying about this.
�When he comes home I will abide in happiness with him and
him alone.
�The terrible part is that daddy and I were caught.
�It would have happened if I didn�t look so young; they
thought I wasn�t 18.
