If my discharge was as sure as a gun, what I says is, that the hen hadn't ought to be heard when the cock's there. (CHRY: Just so.) And we all know that a man is always chaffed, when at home his wife wears the breeches. (CHRY: It is perfectly true.) I says that, if I had a husband, I would have him be the master of the house. I should not care a bit for him if he played the henpecked husband; and if I resisted him out of caprice, or if I spoke too loud, I should think it quite right if, with a couple of boxes on the ear, he made me pitch it lower.
