A new-made wife can usually manage to excite interest for a few weeks, even though the prospects of the house-hold ways and means are cloudy. There is a certain piquancy about her situation, and her manner to her acquaintance at the sense of it, which carries off the gloom of facts, and renders even the humblest bride independent awhile of the real. Mrs. Jude Fawley was walking in the streets of Alfredston one market-day with this quality in her carriage when she met Anny her former friend, whom she had not seen since the wedding. ¡¡¡¡ As usual they laughed before talking; the world seemed funny to them without saying it. ¡¡¡¡ "So it turned out a good plan, you see!" remarked the girl to the wife. "I knew it would with such as him. He's a dear good fellow,
oil paintingand you ought to be proud of un." ¡¡¡¡ "I am," said Mrs. Fawley quietly. ¡¡¡¡ "And when do you expect?" ¡¡¡¡ "Ssh! Not at all." ¡¡¡¡ "What!" ¡¡¡¡ "I was mistaken." ¡¡¡¡ "Oh, Arabella, Arabella; you be a deep one! Mistaken! well, that's clever-- it's a real stroke of genius! It is a thing I never thought o', wi' all my experience! I never thought beyond bringing about the real thing-- not that one could sham it!" ¡¡¡¡ "Don't you be too quick to cry sham! 'Twasn't sham. I didn't know." ¡¡¡¡ "My word--won't he be in a taking! He'll give it to 'ee o' Saturday nights! Whatever it was, he'll say it was a trick-- a double one, by the Lord!"
