Violet Taylor: ...
Violet Taylor looked at Amelia Charlie: "You speak first."
Amelia Charlie sneered: "Divorcing now would make me a laughingstock in our social circle, all of my friends would certainly mock me! Therefore, I won't divorce. I want him to admit his mistake and kneel down to apologize to me!!"
Violet Taylor turned to Mr. Taylor: "And you?"
Mr. Taylor hung his head low: "I was wrong to have an affair, but I don't want a divorce either. Apologizing is out of the question; let's just live our separate lives."
"How dare you?!" Amelia Charlie roared: "How dare you mess around with someone else while still married to me?! I won't agree to this!"

She had seen enough.
This couple, when all was said and done, still held onto some affection for each other, which is why they were both clinging on to the marriage.
But Violet Taylor was determined to see Mr. Taylor admit his faults.
