Relatives within the home as well as outside it may exercise an unfortunate influence on marital relations.
High-tempered she unquestionably read him, arrogant and on occasion not inconceivably remorseless; but neither mean nor ungenerous, his energy unwasted, his mind untainted by self-indulgence.
