Excerpt from Late Laurels, Vol. 2 of 2
Rose in proportion to the general enthusiasm; and the homage which society'accorded, roused him to still higher flights of devotion than any yet attempted. It was pleasant to be the husband of a beauty; and N elly herself enjoyed the dignities of her new position with comical satis faction. Bride and bridegroom played their appropriate parts with the zeal of ascertained congeniality. Nelly was prettily tyrannical, and found despotism very much to her taste. Charles's chivalrous assiduity astonished even himself; and for six weeks, at least, he loved the silken fetters - so soft, so light, so pleasantly suggestive of the easy slavery, for which he had abandoned the uninteresting freedom of bachelorhood - silken fetters, and yet one day he came to feel that they held him firm as adamant; he struggled, yielded, struggled again, found himself faster bound than ever, gave up the effort, and despairingly acknow ledged himself a slave. What is all very nice in courtship becomes wearying in matrimony; and a woman's caprices no sooner cease to be pic turesque than they become oppressive. Nelly's claims, however, did not diminish with the abatement of her husband's zeal, and Charles, before long, began to feel himself Oppressed.
