Actually I could quote that from memory. MacDonald said something like, "Sometime or never one has to make a decision. Should the ham-actor of a husband be allowed to hold saintly Sarah hostage forever to his egotistical whining." Or words to that effect. That's all true in explaining the *necessity* of getting rid of the tiresome twirp. But I didn't mention it, because human emotions don't work that way. You don't stop loving a person you love just because the separation was necessary. It's part of being a human being, and if God gave Sarah some kind of cosmic Valium to kill her pain at the separation, then he violated her personality, as far as I'm concerned.
