Why, first, I keep five maids, you see, and a footman; I shall immediately give three of my maids warning, and the fellow also, and save you that part of the expense. Husb. How can you do that? you can't do your business. Wife.
But this, my dear, I say, will make as much noise almost, as if I were actually broke. Wife. No, no; leave that part to me. Husb. But you may tell me how you will manage it then. Wife. Why, I'll go into the country. Husb. That will but bring them after you, as it used to do. Wife.
Wife. How is that, pray? Husb. Why, give up all faithfully to his creditors, as soon as he finds there is a deficiency in his stock, and yet that there is enough left to pay them. Wife. Well, I don't understand those things, but I desire you would tell me what it is troubles you now; and if it be any thing of that kind, yet I think you should let me know it. Husb. Why should I trouble you with it?
You have touched me in the most sensible part, my dear; you have found out what has been my grief; you need make no further inquiries. Wife. Was that your grief? and would you never be so kind to your wife as to let her know it? Husb. How could I mention so unkind a thing to you? Wife.
She started and turned. 'I am looking at my husb my statue, to see if it is well done, she stammered. 'Why should I not? 'There's no reason why, he said. 'What are you going to do with the monstrous thing? It can't stand here for ever. 'I don't wish it, she said. 'I'll find a place.
I thank you, my dear, for that; but still, though it is some satisfaction to me to be assured of so much, yet I find there is something in it; and your way of speaking is ambiguous and doubtful. I entreat you, be plain and free with me. What is at the bottom of it? why won't you tell me? what have I done, that I am not to be trusted with a thing that so nearly concerns me? Husb.
"You can't go on in this way, you know," he said relentlessly. "She won't " "Why, you blithering idiot," I roared, "do you know what you are saying? I'm not in love with anybody. My heart is is But never mind! Now, listen to me, Fred. This nonsense has got to cease. I won't have it. Why, she's already got a husband. She's had all she can stand in the way of husb " "Rubbish!
The question to me is not whether it is hard, but whether it is necessary. Husb. Nay, it is necessary, that is certain. Wife. Then I hope it is as necessary to you as to your wife. Husb. I know not where to begin. Wife. Why, you keep two horses and a groom, you keep rich high company, and you sit long at the Fleece every evening. I need say no more; you know where to begin well enough. Husb.
But it is dangerous to have it talked of, I say. Wife. No, no; they will say we are taking effectual ways to prevent breaking. Husb. But it will put a slur upon yourself too. I cannot bear any mortifications upon you, any more than I can upon myself. Wife.
That is to say, when you were ruined and undone, and could not show your head, I should know it; or when a statute of bankrupt had come out, and the creditors had come and turned us out of doors, then I should have known it that would have been a barbarous sort of kindness. Husb. What could I do? I could not help it. Wife.
