Thrown on the World / The Discarded Wife
Teddy says to Emily at their final reconciliation in Emily’s Quest:
I knew Ilse didn’t care much for me–I was only the consolation prize. But I thought we could jog along very well together and help each other keep away the fearful lonesomeness of the world. And then”–Teddy laughed at himself– “when she ‘left me at the altar’ according to the very formula of Bertha M. Clay I was furious. She had made such a fool of me–me, who fancied I was beginning to cut quite a figure in the world. My word, how I hated women for awhile!
