Hi,
first thing that comes into my mind is that Quakcmore and Hortensia are
both quite quick to anger. So probably their relationship wasn't too
steady and they had many fights and break-ups before finally getting
married. Maybe they were having a big fight and Hortensia went with
Scrooge to get away from him.
