may have something to conceal, you may not. We do not remember to have met with a single individual, reported
to be under petticoat government, who was not content with his lot,—nay, who
so far from repining, did not exult in his servitude; and we see no way of
accounting for this apparently inexplicable conduct—for which, among other
phenomena of married life, various reasons have been assigned, though none
entirely satisfactory to us—except upon the ground that these domineering
dames possess some charm sufficiently strong to counteract the irritating effect
of their tempers; some secret and attractive quality of which the world at large is
in ignorance, and with which their husbands alone can be supposed to be
acquainted. And yet I know not—for the object of
his visit here to-night was to serve Jack, who, if your statement is correct, which
I cannot however for a moment believe, does not deserve his assistance. Whether the turnkey entertained any suspicion of the old man, Jack could not
tell, but that night he was more than usually rigorous in his search; and having
carefully examined the prisoners and finding nothing to excite his suspicions, he
departed tolerably satisfied. “I am sorry for the
way I acted, Lucy. An ugly flush stained his cheeks. Take my
child to—it is—oh God!—I am sinking—take it—take it!"
"Where?" shouted Wood.
