A man is often generous with his sweetheart and miserly with his wife.

It was not altogether the selfishness of affection that actuated this honorable woman. It was hard to believe that a Carset could have acted unjustly, or even be mistaken; but, once convinced of that, her very pride insisted on a generous atonement.
Indeed, though there is a silly prejudice against illegitimacy, yet as our immortal bard says, "Wherefore base?
