Men take longer views in these matters than women.

To "draw money out of the business" is a form of speech to a majority of wives.

To him whose household expenses overrun what he considers the bounds of reason, this "drawing" means harder work and to less purpose for months to come; clipped wings of enterprise, and occasionally loss of credit.

He who has married a reasonably intelligent woman cannot make her comprehend this too soon.

If he can enlist her sympathies in his plans for earning independence and wealth, he has secured a valuable coadjutor.
