Marshal Petain, before he married, was once delivering some pretty frank
invective against marriage in the presence of some friends. He ended by
saying nearly all married couples led a cat-and-dog life. “But, look
here,” said one friend, “that’s an absurdly sweeping statement. Besides,
cats and dogs don’t always quarrel. Look at those two on your hearth
at this moment. They get on well together.” Petain smiled. “Tie them
together and watch,” he said.
