Quote context

[...]

- Then suddenly, disaster overtook them. Out hunting one day, Etherington was thrown by his horse, which then rolled on him.

- His spine was injured. He was never again able to do more than drag himself a few paces from this bed.

- How dreadful.

- Yes.

- Unfortunately, the effects of such constraint on a man of his enormous energy were more than his mind could endure.

- He became morose, embittered, suspicious, above all, of his wife. Quite without reason, he began accusing the poor lady of betraying him. With his friends, with strangers, with his servants.

- Had she not been so devoted to him, she certainly would've left him, and indeed it would've been better for her had she done so.

- For one day, in an excess of jealous rage, he strangled her, and then sat down in front of the mirror, your mirror... and cut his throat.

- What a horrible story.

- Then the mirror hasn't been used again until Peter... until I bought it for my husband.

- Precisely.

- Peter, darling? Oh, there you are!

- Something gone wrong with your plans for a weekend?

- Darling, what do you mean?

- You know what I mean.

- I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.

- Of course you haven't.
