As his wife's nerves became calm and quiet his nerves quieted and calmed.

Finally his wife discovered that much of his irritability had been roused through nervous anxiety in regard to his business about which he had told her nothing whatever because it "was not his way." There is nothing in the world that so strengthens nerves as the steady use of the will to drop resistance and useless emotions and get a quiet control.

This woman gained that strength, and to her surprise one day her husband turned to her with a full account of all his business troubles and she met his mind quietly, as one business man might meet another, and without in the least expressing her pleasure or her surprise.

She took all the good change in him as a matter of course.
Finally one day it came naturally and easily to talk over the past.

She found that her husband from day to day had dreaded coming home.
