The Husband Campaign (2013)
“Her governess had explained them in great detail; her mother had embodied them each day. A wife ordered the running of the household—from setting the times and menus of meals to inventorying the linens. A wife determined the decoration of each room, planned all events. A wife was a credit to her husband, in demeanor, in dress and in her good works. And above all else, a wife bore her husband an heir. Anything less was failure.
She knew how failure presented itself. She’d seen her mother’s m...isery, her father’s cool disdain when Amelia had been their only issue. She had no wish to live that way. But she had a great many things to do before this household was ready for a family.

“Yes, your ladyship,” the maid said, picking up the gown Amelia had ordered for the day.MoreLess
