Oh, she's merry enough, and good-humoured enough; but, my dear Sir, with my prejudices, with my ideas of refinement, with my delicacy as regards conduct in society, conceive my agony in possessing a wife who is as wild as an unbroken colt, finds a nickname for everybody, and persists in being called by her Christian name of--of---- (BLEN: What?) I'm ashamed to tell you--Margery. (BLEN: Margery?) I have tried to persuade her to change it to Matilda, or Magaretta, or Marguerite, but all in vain--she says her mother's name was Margery, her grandmother's name was Margery, that her name is Margery, and Margery she'll be to the end of the chapter.
