devoted a woman shows herself, the sooner the man sobers down and
becomes domineering. The more cruelly she treats him and the more
faithless she is, the worse she uses him, the more wantonly she plays with

desire, be loved, worshipped by him. So it has always been, since the time
of Helen and Delilah, down to Catherine the Second and Lola Montez."
