I declare I haven't slept since Louis was talking to me about it. But, my dear, you must remember, you know, that a husband has a right to expect some some some a sort of submission from his wife." "He has a right to expect obedience, Lady Milborough." "Of course; that is all one wants." "And I will obey Mr. Trevelyan in anything reasonable." "But, my dear, who is to say what is reasonable?
That, you see, is always the difficulty. You must allow that your husband is the person who ought to decide that." "Has he told you that I have refused to obey him, Lady Milborough?" The Countess paused a moment before she replied. "Well, yes; I think he has," she said.
He knew that it became him to have some regard for his own dignity. He therefore put the matter very astutely to Bozzle, asking no questions, but alluding to his difficulty in a way that would enable Bozzle to offer advice. And where was he to get a woman to take charge of his child? If Lady Milborough would do it, how great would be the comfort!
On this occasion the day had been fixed, and it was unfixed, and changed, and postponed, because it was manifest to Lady Milborough that she could do good by remaining for another fortnight. When she made the offer she said nothing of her previous arrangements. "Lady Rowley, let her come to me. As soon as her friend Lady Peterborough is at Monkhams, she can go there."
From bad to worse the quarrel between the husband and the wife had gone on, till Trevelyan had at last told his friend Lady Milborough that he had made up his mind that they must live apart. "She is so self-willed, and perhaps I am the same," he had said, "that it is impossible that we should live together."
Glascock will go to Devonshire after his lady love," said Mrs. Fairfax. Lady Milborough again raised her hands, and again shook her head. Mrs. Stanbury had given an easy assent when her son proposed to her this new mode of life, but Priscilla had had her doubts. Like all women, she thought that when a man was to be separated from his wife, the woman must be in the wrong.
I wish he had gone to Naples when I told him." While they were going backwards and forwards, looking at the cottage at Twickenham and trying to make things comfortable there for the sick man, Lady Milborough hinted to Nora that it might be distasteful to Trevelyan, in his present condition, to have even a sister-in-law staying in the house with him.
Lady Milborough continued to interfere, writing letters to Emily which were full of good sense, but which, as Emily said herself, never really touched the point of dispute. "Am I, who am altogether unconscious of having done anything amiss, to confess that I have been in the wrong? If it were about a small matter, I would not mind, for the sake of peace.
"Of course I know," said Trevelyan, when the third twist up the mountain had been overcome, "that people talk about me and my wife. It is a part of the punishment for the mistake that one makes." "It is a sad affair altogether." "The saddest in the world. Lady Milborough has no doubt spoken to you about it." "Well; yes; she has." "How could she help it?
But at last Lady Milborough did speak to Mr. Glascock, making no allusion whatever to the hook prepared for himself, but saying a word or two as to the affairs of that other fish, whose circumstances, as he floundered about in the bucket of matrimony, were not as happy as they might have been. The care, the discretion, nay, the wisdom with which she did this were most excellent.
