My wife’s answer was as follows, Socrates:

How can I possibly help you? What power have I? Nay, all depends on you. My duty, as my mother told me, is to be discreet.

Yes, of course, dear,

I said,

my father said the same to me. But discretion both in a man and a woman, means acting in such a manner that their possessions shall be in the best condition possible, and that as much as possible shall be added to them by fair and honourable means.
