【正确答案】The woman was very good at commanding: her orders were all couched in soft-toned imperative sentences. However, it simply wasn't right, I thought, for her to ask her husband to do everything. But to these orders of hers, he never said a word of "No", nor did he reveal any sign of impatience. On the contrary, his response showed that he was as meek as a lamb, seeming to regard it as a great pleasure to busy his head off for his slave master. Therefore I came to the conclusion that his wife must be a great beauty, for beautiful women without exception are stuck up, imaging themselves to be noble princesses.
