Our meals "came like spirits. " No half-cooked potatoes betrayed a cold and hard heart beneath a soft surface no half-picked poultry came to the table as if reluctant to resign the feathery insignia. The amalgamation of sauces and gravies was like the intercourse of society, where the piquant is softened by the modest, and the feeble animated by the strong. My windows were clear as a good conscience, my A HOUSEKEEPER. 53 brasses bright as ready wit, and like Narcissus in the stream, I half fell... in love with myself in the polished mahogany. From whence then came the cloud to shade this happy picture? I was jealous. Not of women, for my husband not only professed to love me, but treated me with remarked atten- tion in the society of others ; and often when I saw married men display their gallantry to any but their wives, I felt proud of those prefer- ring attentions, which Edward directly, but without display, tendered me. My jealousy, and I write it with half a blush, was of books. Edward was becoming an ambitious lawyer.
