QUOTE : Married people should be seen together to be known. In the presence of his wife, Mr. Knight was a different man. Alone, he was affable, attentive, courteous, good-humoured. When she was there, he seemed to stand aside, to let her have the field; rather as he might a dog whose antics, though not amusing, must be put up with - perhaps because it belonged to the house. While his wife talked, he had a habit of feeling if his cheeks were shaven closely enough, running his fingers over his ears, examining his nails, doing all the odd jobs he had no time to think of otherwise. He could not be got to join in any conversation in which his wife took part.
