Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Life's Little Ironies: A Set of Tales With Some Colloquial Sketches Entitled a Few Crusted Characters

She had never antecedently regarded this occupa tion of his as any objection to having him for a husband. Indeed, the necessity of getting life-leased at all cost, a cardinal virtue which all good mothers teach, kept her from thinking of it at all till she had closed with William, had passed the honeymoon, and reached the re?ecting stage. Then, like a person who has stumbled upon some object in the dark, she wondered what she had got; mentally walked round it, estimated it; whether it were rare or common; contained gold, silver, or lead; were a clog or a pedestal, everything to her or nothing.
