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. 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
will never recover from the sting and the humiliation, and you will have created a canker in his feelings for you which nothing you can ever afterward do will heal. Remember that, if you have 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. HE MAY FORGIVE YOU WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THE STING AND THE HUMILIATION AND YOU WILL HAVE CREATED A CANKER IN HIS FEELINGS FOR YOU WHICH NOTHING YOU CAN EVER AFTERWARD DO WILL HEAL REMEMBER THAT IF YOU HAVE 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 ITS PLACE IF YOUR HUSBAND HATH 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
