Selina Goby was all right in both these respects, which was one reason for marrying her.

I had another reason, likewise, entirely of my own discovering.

Selina, being a single woman, made me pay so much a week for her board and services.

Selina, being my wife, couldn't charge for her board, and would have to give me her services for nothing.

That was the point of view I looked at it from.
