Either she was afraid of having a sister-in- law to look after during the husband's long absences; or dreaded the more or less distant eventuality of her brother being persuaded to leave the sea, the friendly refuge of his unhappy youth, and to settle on shore, bringing to her very door this undesirable, this embarrassing connection.
Her face was red, her eyes sparkled, and all the woman came to the front. 'I have heard it! she went on to him passionately. 'You can protect her now as well as the children!

I did not allow anything not even my committee meeting to-day to interfere with this call for duty at home." Jane fell back. All the glow fled from her face.
