Judge monologue (Act 1) — Why Marry?

Yes from Aunt Julia in Reno. Not used to travelling without me; knew I'd worry. Thoughtful of her, wasn't it? [_Puts on glasses._] A night letter. Much cheaper; your Aunt Julia was always a frugal wife. Besides, she never could keep within ten words. [_Reads._] "Arrived safely. Charming rooms with plenty of air and sunlight. Our case docketed for March 15th. Wish you were here to see the women in Divorcee Row--overdressed and underbred." Rather neat, eh? "Overdressed and underbred." "I should love to hear _your_ comments on the various types." Now, isn't that sweet of her? Well, you know, I always _could_ make her laugh--except when I made her cry. "Write soon. With love. Julia." Now [_folds telegram_], isn't that a nice message? From a wife suing for divorce? You happily married people couldn't beat that.
