It's difficult for a shipmaster's wife unless there are other shipmasters' wives about, and there were none here then.

I know that the dock manager's wife called on her; but that was all.

The fellows here formed the opinion that Mrs.Davidson was a meek, shy little thing.

She looked it, I must say.

And this opinion was so universal that the friend I have been telling you of remembered his conversation with Davidson simply because of the statement about Davidson's wife.
