QuoteOf all men on earth, John Barnard should never have married, never come between the sheets of that conjugal bed, to which he had now crept back like some sorry instinct-ridden animal. As a bachelor, as a quaint great uncle, who was very fond of babies and would leave thumping legacies, he might have been well enough perhaps even contented with his lot, perhaps even happy. He should not have married.
