"Pass all the opinions you like, but it is MY opinion, and mine only, which will matter in the long run," retorted Eric.
Likewise, he feared his wife, and particularly her mother, who was a shrew. In a moment of desperation, as the lighter was preparing to leave for the night, he escaped and secreted himself in the hold of the vessel. "'He had long been asleep that night when he was suddenly awakened by a sound on the ladder leading from the upper deck.
Their promises of correspondence were redeemed by Elinor with very long letters at uncertain intervals, and by Marian with shorter epistles notifying all her important movements. Marian, often called upon to defend her cousin from the charge of being a little shrew, was led to dwell upon her better qualities.

That's reading her charitably. Else she has to be taken for a spiteful shrew, who pretends to suspect anything that's villanous, because she can hit on no other way of striking.
Portals of discovery opened to let in the quaker librarian, softcreakfooted, bald, eared and assiduous. A shrew, John Eglinton said shrewdly, is not a useful portal of discovery, one should imagine.
