Satan was ever ready to do his part to ... mar the happiness of a family which might be complete. I saw that this spirit of jealousy was cruel as the grave, and caused an estrangement of feeling between husband and wife. In time the children very often understood their mother’s feelings.

Satan has magnified innocent words and acts into a fault.... Letter 9, 1864. (UL 93.3) MC VC
