235. Treachery



From, “The Enigma Beside Edwards,” by Frank Bruni, 6/4/12, The New York Times:

What was Cate Edwards thinking? What went through her mind and heart as she walked with her father into court every morning, took a place in the row behind his, listened to fresh accounts of his treacheries and her mother’s torment, nervously twisted her long hair, and then walked with him back out of court, day after queasy-making day?

Treachery: betrayal of trust
