His wife's eye was fixed on him, and she first spoke--in the quiet voice that he dreaded. 'What do you mean by carrying on like this, Archibald?' 'I shall carry on as I like in my own house--hear that?' 'I do hear it, and I'm very sorry too. It gives me a very bad opinion of you. You will _not_ do as you like in your own house.

Then the woman began to lecture him; she talked steadily, acrimoniously, for more than an hour, regardless of his interruptions. Nervously exhausted, he fled at length from the room. A couple of hours later they met again in the nuptial chamber, and again Mrs. Jordan began to talk.
