  9. LRC’s view of her husband, Colin • He believed in God, and in Heaven – but his Heaven had a degree of rank as on earth. • Her husband regarded Roderick’s “puny” physicality and “backward in mind” as “proof that the marriage had been a misalliance.” • Her husband viewed being kind to “inferiors” as “disastrous.”
