"
"Ah!" exclaimed Mrs. "
"Come along, then. I rather think they
have kicked him, from the tone of some of the letters. ’
‘Is she now? And what would you be wanting of her, may I ask?’
‘Because she knows something that may make this fool understand that I am
the mistress of—’ She broke off. Spurlock understood that his vantage would be temporary; the Wastrel had
been knocked down, not out. "

‘Yes, indeed,’ agreed Lucilla enthusiastically. A person of somewhat artificial graces and mannerisms, she was
for once in her life perfectly natural. Give him his medicine
every half hour. ’
The girl bit her lip and backed a little, while her husband shifted to stand at
her side. ‘Still more would I be so if he had come himself
to tell me this. It—it is nothing,’ she said, although with a tremor in her voice. I presume
that I may not kiss you in the street?”
“Certainly not, sir,” she replied, laughing. Ruth could not
very well object, since an air of distinction would go with Taber. We do not remember to have met with a single individual, reported
to be under petticoat government, who was not content with his lot,—nay, who
so far from repining, did not exult in his servitude; and we see no way of
accounting for this apparently inexplicable conduct—for which, among other
phenomena of married life, various reasons have been assigned, though none
entirely satisfactory to us—except upon the ground that these domineering
dames possess some charm sufficiently strong to counteract the irritating effect
of their tempers; some secret and attractive quality of which the world at large is
in ignorance, and with which their husbands alone can be supposed to be
acquainted.
