Yongang and his three divorces |
| text: |
Yongang was slightly younger than Chinyang. He had a great (59) sense of humour, and his peculiarly high laugh would often ring out while we were talking. He plumed himself as any cock-sparrow, and probably with reason, over his success with women. I gathered that in his youth he had led rather a gay life. He was thrice-married and thrice divorced before he married his present wife, a pretty, fairly young woman, who seemed to hold her own quite well, despite the definite disadvantage of so many predecessors. |
