“How many wives have been forced by the death of well-intentioned but too protective husbands to face reality late in life, bewildered and frightened because they were strangers to it!”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)

“Oh yes, there is a vast difference between the savage and the civilized man, but it is never apparent to their wives until after breakfast.”
