'"...I once knew a man who, in a moment of inadvertence, married a woman with convictions."
"And what happened?"
"The poor fellow hesitated for some time between the hangman's rope and a lunatic asylum, and finally decided in favour of the lunatic asylum."
Kate laughed. "I wonder he didn't decide on that at first as the least of two evils."
"He was so afraid of meeting his wife there."'
from Kate of Kate Hall by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler and Alfred Laurence Felkin (Chapter XXII)
