    Dr. Hanrahan, I like #88: Happy marriage. Husband a thief, wife a prostitute. Sounds like a perfect marriage to me (lol)!

    Well #85 just sounds cheerful. "dissolute husband. Formerly well-to-do, owing to his wife's dowry, now reduced with her beggary. Living by a trifling commission business. Wife sickly. Children dead."
