Three meals a day three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, with the
same person, in the same room, at the same table, is unspeakably irksome
to him. He may love that other person with completeness and constancy,
but he occasionally demands what Bernard Shaw calls "domestic change of
air."
"My Wife's Gone to the Country," was the biggest song hit of its year
because there were so many florid men who understood just how that man
felt!
The florid wife is as loving as any other but she heaves a sigh of
relief and invites her women friends in for a party when John goes away
on business.
