why is truth and Youth mentioned in the drama ever young
Answers
Hey mate here is your answer,
Mrs. Blanchard has divorced her husband after many years together. She never had a chance to live while married and is making up for lost time by gambling the nights away. The other woman cannot imagine what it is like to not love their husbands. From this, Mrs. Blanchard tells her side of the story
Mrs. Blanchard says
I had been married only four months when I heard of my husband's infatuation for a married woman in our own set. He had married me only, it seems, to allay suspicion. Of course, I see now that I should have divorced him then and there, but I was very young and it wasn't being done in those days. I those hours of my disillusion a dashing young lieutenant understood my despair and planned to arouse my husband's jealousy and so bring him back to me--He succeeded in arousing my husband's jealousy but meanwhile I had fallen in love with the lieutenant-- I harbored a secret thought--a terrible thought that my husband might die, that I might be free to find the other again, that then he should not see an old wrinkled face after he had cherished the memory of my youth. It's humorous in a way, isn't it? That when women like you and Mrs. Dorchester are widowed, I had to put up with a husband who just wouldn't die?
