It is such a temptation to work upon a loved one's feelings and secure oceans of sympathy, but often the second or third time you do so an element of boredom  or, at best, patient bearing of the fret  will come into his listening to your plaints.

ur affection he will only have himself or his misfortune to blame--not you. We have been speaking of emotions hitherto, and of their impossibility of control--and to leave the discussion at that would open a dangerous door to those feather brains who never, if they can help it, look at the real meaning of an argument, but adapt it and turn it to fit their own desires. So I must forcibly state that, although the actual emotion in its coming or going is not under human control, the demonstration of it most emphatically is, being entirely a question of will. A strong will can master any demonstration of emotion, and it is the duty of either the young husband or wife sternly to curb all vagrant fancies in themselves, whose encouragement can only bring degradation and disaster. I am confining myself now to enlightening you, Caroline, upon your own responsibilities. If your health should not be good use common sense and try to improve it--make as light of it as possible, and do not complain.
