In
the
accepted
and
popular
phrase
,
she
had
her
ideas
and
he
had
his
.
Once
in
a
while
he
would
meet
a
woman
whose
youth
,
sprightliness
,
and
humour
would
make
his
wife
seem
rather
deficient
by
contrast
,
but
the
temporary
dissatisfaction
which
such
an
encounter
might
arouse
would
be
counterbalanced
by
his
social
position
and
a
certain
matter
of
policy
.
He
could
not
complicate
his
home
life
,
because
it
might
affect
his
relations
with
his
employers
.
They
wanted
no
scandals
.
A
man
,
to
hold
his
position
,
must
have
a
dignified
manner
,
a
clean
record
,
a
respectable
home
anchorage
.
Therefore
he
was
circumspect
in
all
he
did
,
and
whenever
he
appeared
in
the
public
ways
in
the
afternoon
,
or
on
Sunday
,
it
was
with
his
wife
,
and
sometimes
his
children
.
He
would
visit
the
local
resorts
,
or
those
near
by
in
Wisconsin
,
and
spend
a
few
stiff
,
polished
days
strolling
about
conventional
places
doing
conventional
things
.
He
knew
the
need
of
it
.
When
some
one
of
the
many
middle
-
class
individuals
whom
he
knew
,
who
had
money
,
would
get
into
trouble
,
he
would
shake
his
head
.
It
didn
’
t
do
to
talk
about
those
things
.
If
it
came
up
for
discussion
among
such
friends
as
with
him
passed
for
close
,
he
would
deprecate
the
folly
of
the
thing
.
“
It
was
all
right
to
do
it
—
all
men
do
those
things
—
but
why
wasn
’
t
he
careful
?
A
man
can
’
t
be
too
careful
.
”
He
lost
sympathy
for
the
man
that
made
a
mistake
and
was
found
out
.
On
this
account
he
still
devoted
some
time
to
showing
his
wife
about
—
time
which
would
have
been
wearisome
indeed
if
it
had
not
been
for
the
people
he
would
meet
and
the
little
enjoyments
which
did
not
depend
upon
her
presence
or
absence
.
He
watched
her
with
considerable
curiosity
at
times
,
for
she
was
still
attractive
in
a
way
and
men
looked
at
her
.
She
was
affable
,
vain
,
subject
to
flattery
,
and
this
combination
,
he
knew
quite
well
,
might
produce
a
tragedy
in
a
woman
of
her
home
position
.
Owing
to
his
order
of
mind
,
his
confidence
in
the
sex
was
not
great
.
His
wife
never
possessed
the
virtues
which
would
win
the
confidence
and
admiration
of
a
man
of
his
nature
.
As
long
as
she
loved
him
vigorously
he
could
see
how
confidence
could
be
,
but
when
that
was
no
longer
the
binding
chain
—
well
,
something
might
happen
.
During
the
last
year
or
two
the
expenses
of
the
family
seemed
a
large
thing
.
Jessica
wanted
fine
clothes
,
and
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
,
not
to
be
outshone
by
her
daughter
,
also
frequently
enlivened
her
apparel
.
Hurstwood
had
said
nothing
in
the
past
,
but
one
day
he
murmured
.
“
Jessica
must
have
a
new
dress
this
month
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
one
morning
.
Hurstwood
was
arraying
himself
in
one
of
his
perfection
vests
before
the
glass
at
the
time
.
“
I
thought
she
just
bought
one
,
”
he
said
.
“
That
was
just
something
for
evening
wear
,
”
returned
his
wife
complacently
.
“
It
seems
to
me
,
”
returned
Hurstwood
,
“
that
she
’
s
spending
a
good
deal
for
dresses
of
late
.
”
“
Well
,
she
’
s
going
out
more
,
”
concluded
his
wife
,
but
the
tone
of
his
voice
impressed
her
as
containing
something
she
had
not
heard
there
before
.
