Wharton, in discussing the matter with his daughter, when wishing to persuade her that she might remain in his house even in opposition to her husband, had not told her that he had actually desired Lopez to leave it. He had then felt sure that the man would go and would take his wife with him, but he did not even yet know the obduracy and the cleverness and the impregnability of his son-in-law.
Shoghi Effendi’s words on the consequences of this obduracy of heart and mind make sober reading: Adversities unimaginably appalling, undreamed of crises and upheavals, war, famine, and pestilence, might well combine to engrave in the soul of an unheeding generation those truths and principles which it has disdained to recognize and follow.
Still with a somewhat leaky logic she added: "But I'll give him a month to answer before I fix the date." When the month had passed without result she granted herself other continuances, facing alike, with a gentle obduracy, the pleas of her elderly lover and the importunities of a father who threatened to murder himself with the self-inflicted tortures of impatience.

I reckon these fellers owes us right smart more then what they agreed ter pay fust oft moreover what sartainty hev we got thet we're goin' ter get anything a-tall?"
