"As the good man saith, so say we;
But as the good wife saith so it must be.
Cunning servants will approve of what the master says, and yet feel sure that the mistress will have her own way. As they are much in the house and observe how matters go, they come as a rule to a true conclusion when they reckon that the lady of the house will practically carry her point. Well, it is best it should be so. The house is the woman's dominion, and her husband should let her reign, saying, 'Only in the throne will I be greater than thou.' He will be wise seldom to sit on that throne" (Spurgeon, Salt Cellars Pg. 52).
