Hi 1800s Murphy's Law rendition!
"I do not wish to be cynical; but if a stone is thrown into our garden, is it not sure to knock off the head of our most valuable tulip? If a cup of coffee is to be spilled, does it not make a point of falling on our richest brocade gown? If we do lose our reticule, does not the misfortune occur on the only day on which we had left our purse in it? All these are well-known facts..."

Helen & Treviot remind me a bit of Glencora & Pallister in Anthony Trollope's Pallister novels. G and P did not get understand each other well at first - took effort for that marriage to settle in.
"Lord Teviot may do very well without me, at all events, for a few days.” She did not like to investigate ...she wished that some of their party should insist on remaining at St. Mary’s, so as to keep Lord Teviot at home
