"I hadn't any idea of buyin' it, but she and me got to talkin', and she kept showin' the things to me, and I kept lookin' at 'em and " "Yes, and kept lookin' at her, too! Don't talk to ME! There's no fool like an old fool and an old man fool is the worst of all." Her husband, usually meek and long-suffering under wifely discipline, evinced unwonted spirit. "Well, I tell you this, Becky," he said.
“Well; Belle Worthington does possess the virtue of candor,” said Hosmer amused and folding the letter. “That’s about all there is, except a piece of scandal concerning people you don’t know; that wouldn’t interest you.” “But it would interest me,” Thérèse insisted, with a little wifely resentment that her husband should have a knowledge of people that excluded her.
Waters, who was perfectly aware that the boy had left, nevertheless obediently walked towards the hall-door, but was recalled by his master. "No matter at present!" "It's nothing serious, William?" asked Mrs. Rightbody, with languid wifely concern. "No, nothing. Is there a light in my study?" "Yes. But, before you go, can you give me a moment or two?" Mr.
She was not the woman he had married, he was not the man she had married. He had deceived her basely she had been a common chattel. She had been miserable enough could she give herself over to his flying emotions again so suddenly? She paced the room, her face now in her hands, her hands now clasping and wringing before her.

Widdowson congratulated himself on having taken this step; it was like a revival of his honeymoon; never since their settling down at home had Monica been so grateful, so affectionate. Why, his wife was what he had thought her from the first, perfect in every wifely attribute.
When the wife refuses to act thus wifely, because of her talent, the happiness of the home is imperilled, and the children suffer quite as much, comparatively, as they do in those manufacturing neighborhoods where the wife forsakes the home for the shop, and gives up the vocation of woman to do the work which belongs to man. God made them male and female.
"Oh, do your wifely duty, whatever it is," he said.... "It was a mistake, the whole thing. You've done more than your duty, child, but oh, you'd better go away." Phyllis's heart turned over. Was it as bad as this? Was he as sick of her as this? "You mean you think," she faltered, "it was a mistake our marriage?" "Yes," he said restlessly. "Yes.... It wasn't fair."
There, you see that at any rate I do not attempt untruths. Do you remember how, before we were married, I warned you that I had not good wifely qualities?" "You mock me to say that now. On that point at least the only noble course would be to hold your tongue, for you are still queen of me, Eustacia, though I may no longer be king of you." "You are my husband. Does not that content you?"
She had nothing to oppose to them, except her wifely instinct that the old bond and ceremony were by implication desecrated in assuming a second: "But what right have I to fall back on that old bond," thought poor Hetty, wringing her hands as the burden of her long, sad ten years' mistake weighed upon her. Not until Hetty had yielded this point was there any real joy between her and her husband.
It was, I believe, about this time that the First Consul conceived a strong passion for a very intelligent and handsome young woman, Madame D. Madame Bonaparte, suspecting this intrigue, showed jealousy; and her husband did all he could to allay her wifely suspicions.
