Context

“that would be acting like a weak and whimsical husband.” “It is the duty of a good husband to do so. The princess is no doubt wearied enough; she will be weeping in her plate, and here eyes will get quite red. A husband who is the cause of his wife’s eyes getting red is an odious creature. Come, monseigneur, come.” “I cannot; for I have directed dinner to be served here.” “Yet see, monseigneur, how dull we shall be; I shall be low-spirited because I know that Madame will be alone;” source
