To have an affair you must have a good memory. All those lies you tell have to be memorised by heart. On the whole, men are not very good at this whereas most women tend to remember the smallest detail told to them.
In this case events caught him out. How must the wife been feeling? At first elation that her husband was alive and then despair at the reason why he was.
How must he have been feeling? Despair and guilt over how stupid he was in having an affair but relief because it saved his life.
Tricky one.
