"Tom Jordan didn't exactly feel that the world owed him a living, but until he won fame as a cartoonist he was willing to be subsidized. So he eloped with Ida Turell, who was wealthy and therefore obviously a better match than his sweetheart Olive Garner. Ida's ex-fiance gave Tom a job, and Tom made good. For a time, life was rosy. But Ida had been attracted by a reckless artist lover; successful executives bored her. And Tom, piqued by her indifference, turned more to Olive and took what she had to offer, even though it had to be without benefit of clergy."-- book.
