Book Description
Excerpt from Sylvia's Lovers, Vol. 3 of 3 And now Philip seemed as prosperous as his heart could desire. The business flourished, and money beyond his moderate wants came in. As for himself he required very little; but he had always looked forward to placing his idol in a befitting shrine; and means for this were now furnished to him. The dress, the comforts, the position he had desired for Sylvia were all hers. She did not need to do a stroke of household work if she preferred to "sit in her parlour and sew up a seam." Indeed Phoebe resented any interference in the domestic labour, which she had performed so long that she looked upon the kitchen as a private empire of her own.
