It may be not. Wife. No, no; she is a lady of too much sense, to allow us to suggest it. Husb. And why did he not let her have some notice of it? Wife. Why, he makes the same dull excuse you speak of; he could not bear to speak to her of it, and it looked so unkind to do any thing to straiten her, he could not do it, it would break his heart, and the like; and now he has broke her heart. Husb.
Come, my dear, I must not be put off so; I am sure, if it be any thing ill, I must have my share of it; and why should I not be worthy to know it, whatever it is, before it comes upon me. Husb. Wife. Well, but let me know what it is; come, don't distract yourself alone; let me bear a share of your grief, as well as I have shared in your joy. Husb. My dear, let me alone, you trouble me now, indeed.
Break! no, no, I hope not Break! no, I'll never break. Wife. As good as you have broke; don't presume; no man in trade can say he won't break. Husb. Yes, yes; I can say I won't break. Wife. I am glad to hear it; I hope you have a knack, then, beyond other tradesmen. Husb. No, I have not neither; any man may say so as well as I; and no man need break, if he will act the part of an honest man.
Well, my dear, I have not brought you to that, I hope. Wife. No, my dear, and I hope you will not; however, you shall not say I will not do every thing I can to prevent it; and, if it lies on my side, you are safe. Husb. What will you do to prevent it? Come, let's see, what can you do? Wife.
Ay, this twelvemonth, and more. Wife. Very well, and yet it is nothing. Husb. It is nothing that you can help me in. Wife. Well, but how do you know that? Let me see, and judge whether I can, or no. Husb. I tell you, you cannot. Wife. Sure it is some terrible thing then. Why must not I know it? What! are you going to break? Come, tell me the worst of it. Husb.
That's true, but I see it is otherwise now; and though I cannot help it, I could not mention it to you, nor, for ought I know, should I ever have done it. Wife. Why! you said just now you should have done it. Husb. Ay, at last, perhaps, I might, when things had been past recovery. Wife.
Yes, yes, there's nobody knows what they can do till they are tried; two maids may do all my house-business, and I'll look after my children myself; and if I live to see them grown a little bigger, I'll make them help one another, and keep but one maid; I hope that will be one step towards helping it. Husb. And what will all your friends and acquaintance, and the world, say to it? Wife.
"I've been thinking " she said slowly, "every girl should like what her husb " she stopped and blushed till she looked like a rose in confusion. "Oh, I see what you mean," I said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Since you care for Blister, you feel that you should also be interested in his profession." "That's it! You say things just right!" she exclaimed gratefully.
Husb. What steps could you think of, if that were the case? Wife. Indeed it is not much that is in a wife's power, but I am ready to do what lies in me, and what becomes me; and first, pray let us live lower. Do you think I would live as I do, if I thought your income would not bear it? No, indeed. Husb.
We may judge of the wild fury which prevailed throughout the nation, when so scandalous an imposture, which affected such numbers of people, could be openly practised without drawing infamy and ruin upon the managers. * Clarendon, vol. i. p. 199, 200, etc. Nalson, vol. i. p. 570.
