Neville's answer to the question he says he is asked most often about the ethics of the method - what if what I want would cause unhappiness to someone else? He answers with the most compromising story he has. Married at nineteen, separated at twenty and not divorced, he became a dancer, and everyone who knew the act took it for granted that if a divorce ever came he would marry his dancing partner. Then he found the girl who now bears his name. If he married her he would hurt his partner - I didn't want to hurt her, I'd rather die than hurt her - so he kept postponing what he knew he should have done. Then he caught himself: I'm not applying this principle that I know so well; I'm trying to unravel it on this level, and you can't unravel it on this level. So he slept for one solid week in the assumption that the other bed was occupied by his second wife and by no one else, making it quite clear to himself that he was sleeping in the assumption of being happily married, which he could not be at the expense of another - so if I am happily married, she is not hurt. At the end of the week his partner asked to speak to him: it has always been assumed that you and I would marry, but really you are like my brother, I couldn't marry you; I am in love with Dr so-and-so and have been for years and I didn't have the courage to tell you. Both had been carrying the same burden in silence. The moral he draws is the general rule: you don't hurt anyone if you really go beyond appearances to a higher level and see things as they ought to be through the eyes of love, and every time you exercise your Imagination lovingly you are doing the right thing. Also told at 1828, where the assumption is put as I am blissfully happy, which would include that she's happy, held for six nights.
