Between Bingo and Mrs. Bingo there existed an almost perfect love. From the very inception of their union, they had been like ham and eggs. But he doubted whether the most Grade A affection could stand up against the revelation of what he had done this day. Look at his story from whatever angle you pleased, it remained one that reflected little credit on a young father and at the best must inevitably lead to, "Oh, how could you?" And the whole wheeze in married life, he had come to learn, was to give the opposite number as few opportunities of saying, "Oh, how could you?" as possible.
