I think it must have been based on the point where Sarah assured Maurice that Henry wouldn't realize they were having sex, as he wouldn't recognize her noises. Of course that doesn't mean the marriage hadn't been consummated in itself, so I did think that a reach, unless there was something else I'd missed.
However, I'm glad this came up, as I've not been happy with the characterization of Henry as a loving husband. If he couldn't see how essentially unfulfilled Sarah was, that was a serious limitation on his love; he was as selfish as the other two. Or, perhaps more fairly, he also was damaged and it was expressed in his lack in that respect.
