The Way of All Flesh (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, 2018 M03 23 - 448 pages Excerpt from The Way of All Flesh His wife was said to be his master I have been told she brought him a little money, but it cannot have been much. She was a tall, square-shouldered person (i have heard my father call her a Gothic woman) who had insisted on being married to Mr Pontifex when he was young and too good natured to say nay to any woman who wooed him. The pair had lived not unhappily together, for Mr Pontifex's temper was easy and he soon learned to bow before his wife's more stormy moods.
