Convey the lawful wife to her lawful spouse."
You will hear rhyme and reason together here, now. He will not miscall 'blind-folded, 'blind-fold-ed, I warrant; or make an 'of' and a 'which' and a 'his' carry a whole verse on their wretched little backs." And as he spoke, Amyas, who had been grumbling to himself some Christmas carol, broke out full-mouthed:
Not I. I don't propose to wait an hour for it, if I can help bring it on; and I know I can. There! I don't believe I have read fifteen reviews of any of my books. Life is too short; but I am glad I did not miss that one. Those are the fellows for whom Roosevelt is not a good enough reformer; who chill the enthusiasm of mankind with a deadly chill, and miscall it method science.
Then, turning once more to the still approaching barge, she continued: "An' so thet's Queen Victoria's ship, is it?" "Victoria!" growled the waterman. "Ye seem as odd in speech as in dress, mistress. Who gave ye license to miscall our glorious sovereign?" Rebecca's brows were knit in a thoughtful frown and she scarce knew what her companion said.

People don't call me names twice. Hazel had heard Edward's voice. She ran to the door, and the apple-green gown rustled about her. 'Ed'ard! Ed'ard! Dunna go for to miscall him! He'll hurt 'ee!
'Avaunt then, for one moment, all consideration that may arise from a weakness which some would miscall gratitude; and is oftentimes the corrupter of a heart most ignoble! For is not a wife the keeper of a man's honour? And do not her faults bring more disgrace upon a husband than even upon herself? It is not for nothing, Jack, that I have disliked the life of shackles.
'I have not heard you go on like this for years, he said. 'I believe you must be almost as much above yourself as I am. It is a bad case of the unrest which men miscall delight. But much as I enjoy it, I am not going to sit still and hear the Manderson affair dismissed as commonplace.

It is a selfish and ungrateful course, and therefore sure to be without a blessing from God. I am talking now of those whose work keeps them near home, and who only leave their home to escape its duties, or as they would miscall them, its burdens. Many, of course, must leave home. If work calls you elsewhere it is another matter.
