And in all their talk together he had been for the most part careful to avoid disparagement of the religion in which she believed so that it was only some chance revelation of the infidel's narrow outlook that reminded her of his unbelief. Yes, his love had been round her like an atmosphere; and she had been exquisitely happy while that unquestioning affection was hers.
She had much confidence in her daughter; and it said well for the mother that, with all her experience, she yet had this confidence and none the less that she had never taken pains to instruct her in what was becoming. The most she had done in this way was once to snatch from her hand and throw in the fire a novel she had herself, a moment before, finished with unquestioning acceptance.
From that time on she had absolute and unquestioning confidence in all that was told her.

"Certainly of course certainly command me." He was not properly awake, and had a notion of being very civil in these extraordinary circumstances, of showing his unquestioning, devoted readiness.
He had, he told himself, hurried home out of the jar and fret of a man's day to find balm, to feel the cool fingers of peace pressed upon hot eyelids, to drink strengthening draughts of refreshment from his wife's unquestioning belief, from the completeness of her absorption in him. And here she sat thinking of something else!
