'...It was one of the bonds of union and good-fellowship between her husband and herself that each understood and sympathized with each other's tastes without in the least wanting to share them; they went their own ways and were pleased and comrade-like when the ways happened to run together for a span, without self-reproach or heart-searching when the ways diverged. Moreover, they had separate and adequate banking accounts, which constitute, if not the keys of the matrimonial Heaven, at least the oil that lubricates them.'
from When William Came by Saki (Chapter IV)
