I am hopeful that many of you will know the exact famous exchange I
am looking for may be found, or just know it off-hand. I have read
it many times and am drawing a blank as to the particulars. In fact
there is a whole story about them I have read many times.
It had to do with a very unhappily married couple. Please do not
admonish me for completely butchering this incident, but hopefully
enough of what I present below will ring enough bells for some one to
correct me.
This couple were driving along in a carriage one day, and as usual in
their normal "harumph" attitudes. At one point, it goes something
like this: (I know this is all wrong, which is why I ask to be
corrected.)
Scene. The man gets so angry he starts driving into a lake.
Her: Sir, you are driving this carriage into a lake.
Him: Yes I am. And I would sooner drive into the Gates Hell.
Her: Drive on!
Later in the story, she dies and he erects a tombstone with one last
blast at her for all eternity.
I know I am messing this whole thing up, but hopefully someone can
direct me to the proper source. I can't even think of their names.
Craig
