According to the suit, Macdonell had committed adultery in a hotel in London the previous January. His second wife was a Viennese lady whose family was associated with the banking firm of Warburg-Schiff and who had fled to England just before the Anschluss.

Famous quotes containing the word marriages:
“Women have entered the work force . . . partly to express their feelings of self-worth . . . partly because today many families would not survive without two incomes, partly because they are not at all sure their marriages will last. The day of the husband as permanent meal-ticket is over, a fact most women recognize, however they feel about “women’s liberation.””
—Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)
“Some marriages depend on domestic arguments the way the courts depend on litigation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.”
—Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
