Actually really good

>did she really want to be present at the great ceremonial high office when Zupfner was made a Knight of Malta, surrounded by chancellors and presidents, and at home with her own hands iron out the drops of wax in his robes? A matter of taste, Marie, but not your taste. It is better to put your trust in an unbelieving clown, who wakes you early enough for you to get to Mass on time, who will even pay for a taxi for you to go to church. You’ll never need to wash out my blue jersey.

Alone this passage isn’t really much but if you read the book it’s heart breaking. He’s agnostic and doesn’t even like the church but loves Marie and makes sure she gets to church on time because she’s a catholic. Shes the one thing he really loves and she leaves him.

Made me cry
