Page 115-116 quote from Franklin and Lucy by Joseph E. Persico
"The torment for Lucy was no less. She was flying in the face of her (Catholic) Churches' teaching, which had been her moral compass since childhood. She had sacrificed crucial years when a young woman should be seeking the security of a good marriage. Her foreboding was assuaged by the hope that someday they might marry. But what if in the end Franklin would not leave his wife? Their lives had become a melange of happiness and anxiety, pleasure and guilt, risk and deception. yet the price was paid and the affair went on."
