Divorce
Hadley's marriage disintegrated as Hemingway was writing and revising The Sun Also Rises, although he dedicated the novel to "Hadley and ... John Hadley Nicanor". For the second year, they went to Schruns for Christmas, but that year they were joined by Pauline Pfeiffer. Hemingway returned with Pfeiffer to Paris, leaving Hadley with Bumby in Austria. While Hadley was in Austria, Hemingway sailed to New York then returned to Paris in March, at which time he may have begun his affair with Pauline. In the spring of 1926, Hadley became aware of the affair although she endured Pauline's presence in Pamplona that July. On their return to Paris, Hadley and Hemingway decided to separate and Hadley formally requested a divorce in the fall. By November they had split their possessions and Hadley accepted Hemingway's offer of the royalties from The Sun Also Rises. The couple divorced in January 1927 and Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer in May.

Famous quotes containing the word divorce:
“Anybody who’s been through a divorce will tell you that at one point ... they’ve thought murder. The line between thinking murder and doing murder isn’t that major.”
—Oliver Stone (b. 1946)
“Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
