ABSTRACT
Dunstane’s refusal to let his wife keep Mrs. Markham’s baby roused more indignation in Priscilla’s heart than almost any action of his that had preceded it. She could not forgive his selfishness, nor the small regard he showed for her feelings. And Dunstane, conscious that he had wounded her unnecessarily, resented her 89silence, and betook himself to sulking and to sharp words, – so widening more and more the breach between them.
