Elizabeth Strong Worthington was a popular American writer during the latter part of the 19th century. "A great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze, by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew, by irritating ways and words; others roast them; some keep them in pickle all their lives. Now it is not to be supposed that any husband will be good, managed in this way-turnips wouldn't; [10]onions wouldn't; cabbage-heads wouldn't, and husbands won't; but they are really delicious when properly treated."
