one’s bosom.
“Well, Mr. Glegg! it’s a poor return I get for making you the wife I’ve made you all these years. If this is the way I’m to be treated, I’d better ha’ known it before my poor father died, and then, when I’d wanted a home, I should ha’ gone elsewhere, as the choice was offered me.”
Mr. Glegg paused from his porridge and looked up, not with any new amazement, but simply with that quiet, habitual wonder with which we regard constant mysteries.
“Why, Mrs. G., what have I done now?”
“Done now, Mr. Glegg? done now? — I’m sorry for you.”
Not seeing his way to any pertinent answer, Mr. Glegg reverted to his porridge.
“There’s husbands in the world,” continued Mrs. Glegg, after a pause, “as ‘ud have known how to do something different to siding with everybody else against their own wives. Perhaps I’m wrong and you can teach me better. But I’ve allays heard as it’s the husband’s place to stand by the wife, instead o’ rejoicing and triumphing when Męskie Vans Slip-On folks insult her.”
“Now, what call have you to say that?” said Mr. Glegg, rather warmly, for though a kind man, he was not as meek as Moses. “When did I rejoice or triumph over you?”
“There’s ways Women Jumpers o’ doing things worse than speaking out plain, Mr. Glegg. I’d sooner you’d tell me to my face as you make light of me, than try to make out as everybody’s in the right but me, and come to your breakfast in the morning, as I’ve hardly slept an hour this night, and sulk at me as if Men Parka & Duffle Coats I was the dirt under your feet.”
“Sulk at you?” said Mr. Glegg, in a tone of angry facetiousness. “You’re like a tipsy man as thinks everybody’s had too much but Men Biker Jackets himself.”
“Don’t lower yourself with using coarse language to me, Mr. Glegg! It makes you look very small, though you can’t see yourself,” said Mrs. Glegg, in a tone of energetic compassion. “A man in your place should Men Skinny Jeans set an example, and talk more sensible.”
“Yes; but will you listen to sense?” retorted Mr. Glegg, sharply. “The best sense I can talk to you is what I said last night — as you’re i’ the wrong to think o’ calling in your money, when it’s safe enough Men Hats if you’d let it alone, all because of a bit of a tiff, and I was in hopes you’d Vans Hoodies & Sweatshirts Men ha’ altered your mind this morning. But if you’d like to call it in, don’t do it in a hurry now, and breed more enmity in the family, but wait till there’s a pretty mortgage Męskie Vans Fleece Lining Sk8-Hi to Menn be had without any trouble. You’d have to Męskie Vans Sk8-Hi set the lawyer to work now to find an investment, and make no end o’ expense.”
Mrs. Glegg felt there was really something in this, but she tossed her head and emitted a guttural interjection to indicate that her silence was only an armistice, not a peace. And, in fact hostilities soon broke out again.
“I’ll thank you for my cup o’ tea, now, Mrs. G.,” said Mr. Glegg, seeing that she did not proceed to give it him as usual, when he had finished Women Wallets & Purses his porridge. She lifted the Men Oversized Coats teapot with a slight toss of the head, anlinks:
