as to verify what his wife had said. His story came out just as I had imagined: he had thought that his marriage would win him social standing, but with the passing of time it became plain that her effort to raise him up irritated him instead of helping him. She did not understand his feelings, and that added to the difficulty of his position; he bore her treatment until a time came when he defended himself. The marriage he had reckoned an impregnable stronghold in his struggle against inadequacy had itself become the ground of contention. I discussed their sexual relations with him, and his answer came as a con-firmation of Layla's statement. By the end of that day I was able to tell Layla that Jamil was coming back home — but that the two of them must not cease seeing me, for he was not content with his work, and he hated his dependence on the help of his wife's people.

The last time I saw Layla, she told me that her husband had been displeased with her social engagements and with the friends

she knew: he would direct his criticisms at her parties and show his displeasure at her expenses;

and when she invited some friends to dinner a week before, she had been afraid of his wrath.

— "But before the party he asked me what kind of drink I wanted him to serve the guests, and he appeared pleased at their being invited. He spent a happy evening with them, and they liked him too. I felt at ease, and did not stop to reckon what he might say after they had gone. And I understood how I used to criticize his conduct in the past without being aware of it: he would feel my criticism and turn cold. All that has melted away now that I understand the causes of our mistakes. Jamil never knew, in his childhood, the care that would have given him confidence in himself, while I lived in comfort and paid no heed to the feelings of others. And since we have come to understand this, we shall try to work on one and the same level, for the sake of harmony and happiness!"
