Loved the contrast between Smallweed’s and Bagnet’s treatment of their wives! Smallweed’s heinous behavior towards his wife with dementia (“brimstone woman”!) vs. Bagnet’s total admiration of and confidence in his “old girl”.
“The old girl,” says Mr. Bagnet in reply, “is a thoroughly fine woman. Consequently she is like a thoroughly fine day. Gets finer as she gets on.”

The Bagnets 😍 Although he cracks me up with the way he asks her to state his opinion.

“She’s a treasure. I can’t let on though. Discipline must be maintained!” 😂
The best part is that SHE doesn't let on! Dignity is maintained. What an old girl.
