The forty miles' drive passed like a dream. Our companion, like her husband, was full of health, spirits and information. She could see nothing of the military surgeon but a pair of neat, well-polished boots, as he sat aloft beside the driver; every now and then she craned forward her neck with wifely solicitude and interrogated the boots: 'Well, love, how do you get on?
Tarbury exchanged a look, and Julia knew exactly what concessions her mother had made before the reconciliation; knew just how sincere this unworldly wifely devotion was. "Doc says I am to have fresh air, and light, nourishing foods, and quiet nights," George explained, gravely important. "And what about Julie?" asked Mrs. Tarbury.
Blood! His Oriental mind groped hopelessly. Blood! He could make nothing of it. A murderous quarrel over such as these! For a long time Ling Foo sat on his stool, the image of Buddha contemplating the way. Outside the storm carried on vigorously, sending rattles into casements and shudders into doors. The wifely needle, a thread of silver fire, shuttled back and forth in the heavy brocade silk.
It was evident to Edith that her husband was nervous and irritable, and with wifely protective instinct she attributed his condition to overwork. She did not take up the challenge which he in a manner flung down.

He was by nature unmethodical and disorderly, and she supplied him with method and orderliness.
Agatha wore her wedding-dress, of white silk, rich and plain, She looked very pretty, her girlish abandon of manner softened by a certain wifely dignity, which grew upon her day by day. She filled her position well, though often with secret trembling, and shy glances over to her husband to see if he were satisfied with her a fact which no one but herself could doubt.
Why shouldn't Elsie adore her man, if it pleased her? Old Herbert was worth it. Women, said Daphne, should never put themselves wholly in a man's power. Moreover, wifely adoration was particularly bad for clergymen, who were far too much inclined already to give themselves airs. "I say! Herbert never gives himself airs!" "They both did to me.
Some of the younger of them blamed her, but in the main it was esteemed a wifely and Christian course that she should make this pretense of confidence in her husband's innocence for the sake of her child. No one wondered that it wore upon her health.
