For some months after our marriage, euphemia and I boarded . but we did not like it . indeed, there was no reason why we should like it , euphemia said that she never felt at home except when she was out. Which felling, indicating such an excessively unphilosophic state of mind, was enough to make me desire to have a home of my own, where, except unpn rare and exceptional occasions , my wife would never care to go out.
