Excerpt from Materfamilias

Indeed, it was a hor rible catastrophe. When my own children are so anxious to get married while they are still but children, and think it so cruel Of me to thwart them, I wish I could tell them what I went through at their age!

My husband was travelling about the world as a ship's doctor. Father wanted me to come home, but I was too proud for that. Be sides, I would not go where I had to hear Edward insulted. After all, he was my hus band, and our matrimonial troubles were en tirely 'our own concern. Not from him.
