Carrol's arrogance, her coldness, her growing dislike for him, had been beyond endurance. He was short- tempered himself and many times in the last month their disputes had hovered on the verge of physical violence.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Couple (1920-1922)

The Couple, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was written sometime between 1920 and 1922, then published posthumously as one of the author's lost stories. After just one year of marriage, Pawling and wife Carrol decide that their marriage is irreparable. Before they separate, the couple decides to take on a servant couple in their household which causes unpredicted unrest. Ironically, it creates an alliance between Pawling and Carrol against the couple, joining the two in a common cause and mending their relationship. Fitzgerald's insights into marital relationships are some of the best that literature has to offer, making this volume an excellent addition to any reader's personal library.
