Do not worry him when he is tired. Never tell him of the petty delinquencies of the servants. Learn to manage these yourself. Do not be egotistical and talk about yourself. DO NOT WORRY HIM WHEN HE IS TIRED NEVER TELL HIM OF THE PETTY DELINQUENCIES OF THE SERVANTS LEARN TO MANAGE THESE YOURSELF DO NOT BE EGOTISTICAL AND TALK ABOUT YOURSELF
ve married a man poorer than yourself, you did it deliberately and because you were convinced at the time that what he had to offer you in exchange was worth while accepting. In these days no one is forced into marriage, least of all an heiress like you, Caroline. And nothing can be meaner or more unladylike than to remind your husband that it is you who hold the purse-strings. Where love is, there never should be any desire to humiliate, and, when love flies away, friendship can stay, and dignity and respect take his place. If your husband has a fine spirit you will have wounded him beyond redress by taunting him with your money, and, if he has a small mind, you will have galled him into enmity, besides having fallen far short of that respect for yourself which is the mainstay of my basic principle. Never ask your husband questions. If you do, you may be certain he will only tell you the truth when he feels inclined--and one day you will find it out, and then think he is always lying.
