"
Oh
,
my
dear
Mr
.
Bullfrog
,
"
replied
my
wife
,
sweetly
,
"
I
thought
all
the
world
knew
that
!
"
"
Horror
!
horror
!
"
exclaimed
I
,
sinking
back
on
the
seat
.
Covering
my
face
with
both
hands
,
I
emitted
a
deep
and
deathlike
groan
,
as
if
my
tormented
soul
were
rending
me
asunder
—
I
,
the
most
exquisitely
fastidious
of
men
,
and
whose
wife
was
to
have
been
the
most
delicate
and
refined
of
women
,
with
all
the
fresh
dew
-
drops
glittering
on
her
virgin
rosebud
of
a
heart
!
I
thought
of
the
glossy
ringlets
and
pearly
teeth
;
I
thought
of
the
Kalydor
;
I
thought
of
the
coachman
’
s
bruised
ear
and
bloody
nose
;
I
thought
of
the
tender
love
secrets
which
she
had
whispered
to
the
judge
and
jury
and
a
thousand
tittering
auditors
,
—
and
gave
another
groan
!
"
Mr
.
Bullfrog
,
"
said
my
wife
.
As
I
made
no
reply
,
she
gently
took
my
hands
within
her
own
,
removed
them
from
my
face
,
and
fixed
her
eyes
steadfastly
on
mine
.
"
Mr
.
Bullfrog
,
"
said
she
,
not
unkindly
,
yet
with
all
the
decision
of
her
strong
character
,
"
let
me
advise
you
to
overcome
this
foolish
weakness
,
and
prove
yourself
,
to
the
best
of
your
ability
,
as
good
a
husband
as
I
will
be
a
wife
.
You
have
discovered
,
perhaps
,
some
little
imperfections
in
your
bride
.
Well
,
what
did
you
expect
?
Women
are
not
angels
.
If
they
were
,
they
would
go
to
heaven
for
husbands
;
or
,
at
least
,
be
more
difficult
in
their
choice
on
earth
.
"
"
But
why
conceal
those
imperfections
?
"
interposed
I
,
tremulously
.
"
Now
,
my
love
,
are
not
you
a
most
unreasonable
little
man
?
"
said
Mrs
.
Bullfrog
,
patting
me
on
the
cheek
.
"
Ought
a
woman
to
disclose
her
frailties
earlier
than
the
wedding
day
?
Few
husbands
,
I
assure
you
,
make
the
discovery
in
such
good
season
,
and
still
fewer
complain
that
these
trifles
are
concealed
too
long
.
Well
,
what
a
strange
man
you
are
!
Poh
!
you
are
joking
"
