Excerpt from The Miser Married, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel, in Three Volumes
I wonder whether it would be pleasant to feel one's timidity, one's fear of offending, and one's desire to please, giving way to a spirit of independence, and a heedlessness whether one pleased or not; and whether this mighty change takes place all at once, or by degrees! X must certainly marry, to find it out; but I think I shall be a little upon my guard that the transformation do not happen too suddenly.
With respect to my mother, it is no new thing. Placed a second time in the situation of a wife, she has only to resume her former manners. X remember her behaviour to Sir George. He had been struck with her beauty, and, when that became familiar, her good humour gave him no cause to repent; and she made him what is called a good wife.
