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.”
