As the heat is
on, the lordship stomps around the house looking for an excuse to get
rid of Mrs Wife, whom he had solemnly sworn "to love and to cherish
until death do us part." His bad behavior attracts comments to
which he responds uncaringly, "If you don't like it you can leave.
If you can't take it somebody else will."
Sometimes to expedite
the departure of Mrs. Wife, the Other Woman storms into the home. She
discomforts the wife with her saucy presence. Demanding insolently,
"So what are you still doing here? When will you leave? Can't you
see he has no use for you!"
Should the wife adopt
the "sit tight" strategy of most Mrs' and proclaims "I
am the wife. I've got the ring! and I am staying put!" The Other
Woman retorts crushingly, "Okay, you keep the ring, I'll keep the
man."
