Thus, if you bore your husband in his leisure, he may stay with you for a while from a sense of duty, but he will begin to make excuses of work to curtail the moments, and he will snatch time from his real work for his pleasure elsewhere. THUS IF YOU BORE YOUR HUSBAND IN HIS LEISURE HE MAY STAY WITH YOU FOR A WHILE FROM A SENSE OF DUTY BUT HE WILL BEGIN TO MAKE EXCUSES OF WORK TO CUR TAIL THE MOMENTS AND HE WILL SNATCH TIME FROM HIS REAL WORK FOR HIS PLEASURE ELSEWHERE
 his tastes and pursuits: if they are political, that you will endeavor to forward his interest and understand his aims; if they lie in the country and the management of his estate, that you mean to fulfil all the duties which such an existence requires. If he is a soldier, a sailor, a barrister, a financier--no matter what--this same principle applies, though in the latter professions you cannot take perhaps such active interest; but you must show him that at all events you can give him your sympathy and understanding, and make his home pleasant and agreeable when he returns to it. If you make it smooth and charming for him you may be as certain that he will prefer to spend all his spare time with you as that he will break away immediately if you do not. All human beings unconsciously in their leisure moments do what they _like best_. If you find a man in his free hours doing something which he obviously cannot like, it is because to _accomplish his duty_ is the thing he _likes best_. E DEEPEST INTEREST IN ALL HIS TASTES AND PURSUITS IF THEY ARE POLITICAL THAT YOU WILL ENDEAVOUR TO FORWARD HIS INTEREST AND UNDERSTAND HIS AIMS IF THEY LIE IN THE COUNTRY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HIS ESTATE THAT YOU MEAN TO FULFIL ALL THE DUTIES WHICH SUCH AN EXISTENCE REQUIRES IF HE IS A SOLDIER A SAILOR A BARRISTER A FINANCIER NO MATTER WHAT THE SAME PRINCIPLE APPLIES THOUGH IN THE LATTER PROFESSIONS YOU CANNOT TAKE PERHAPS SUCH ACTIVE INTEREST BUT YOU MUST SHOW HIM THAT AT ALL EVENTS YOU CAN GIVE HIM YOUR SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING AND MAKE HIS HOME PLEASANT AND AGREEABLE WHEN HE RETURNS TO IT IF YOU MAKE IT SMOOTH AND CHARMING FOR HIM YOU MAY BE AS CERTAIN THAT HE WILL PREFER TO SPEND ALL HIS SPARE TIME WITH YOU AS THAT HE WILL BREAK AWAY IMMEDIATELY IF YOU DO NOT ALL HUMAN BEINGS UNCONSCIOUSLY IN THEIR LEISURE MOMENTS DO WHAT THEY LIKE BEST IF YOU FIND A MAN IN HIS FREE HOURS DOING SOMETHING WHICH HE OBVIOUSLY CANNOT LIKE IT IS BECAUSE TO ACCOMPLISH HIS DUTY IS THE THING HE LIKES BEST
