She spoke it the\r\nfirst time on the spur of the moment without thought or intention. But\r\nshe saw that it hurt. So she used it againto keep Henry in his\r\nproper place.\n\"You have no right to talk, Henry,\" she would say in the hard practical\r\nvoice which so completed her self-sufficiency. \"You are not earning your\r\nliving. You are still dependent upon us;\" and she would add with a note\r\nof triumph: \"Remember, if anything were to happen to your dear father you\r\nwould have to shift for yourself, for everything has been left to me.\"\nMrs. Thresk meant no harm. She was utterly without imagination and had no\r\nspecial delicacy of taste to supply its placethat was all. People and\r\nwordsshe was at pains to interpret neither the one nor the other and\r\nshe used both at random. She no more contemplated anything happening to\r\nher husband, to quote her phrase, than she understood the effect her\r\nbarbarous little speech would have on a rather reserved schoolboy.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 12535 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Mason, A.
