On such occasions, he would throw back his head, shut his eyes and roar his wrath at his opponents in a most disquieting manner, and when he returned home, whether he had won or lost his fight, his paper would bristle for two or three weeks with rage, and his editorial page would be full of lurid articles written in short exclamatory sentences, pocked with italics, capital letters and black-faced lines.
His wife laughed again in the same exclamatory manner, when he had done and sat stroking his knees. "Why, you understand nothing about it, Mr. Manners," she said, "Did the maid not tell you she would marry him, if he wished it? She told me so." "Then what is the matter?" he asked. "I know no more than you." "Does he not wish it?" "She says so." "Then " "Yes, that is what I say.
