Nowadays when a man falls in love with another man’s wife, that’s affinity, but when another man falls in love with your wife that’s different. If you. stand on the street corner and make ugly remarks about some other man’s daughter, that’s fun, but when it happens to be your girl, that’s outrageous. So it is all along the line. It makes a lot of difference whose wife or daughter it is, and which way you peel the bark. Ever think about it?
