"He loved the extensive vaults where you could hear the night birds and the sea breeze; he loved the craggy ruins bound together by ivy, those dark halls, and any appearance of death and destruction.

"She was as sated with him as he was tired of her. Emma had rediscovered in adultery all the banality of marriage."
