The Legacy
by Virginia Woolf
Miss Miller could not speak at first. She sat there dabbing her
eyes with her pocket handkerchief. Then she made an effort.
"Pardon me, Mr. Clandon," she said.
He murmured. Of course he understood. It was only natural. He
could guess what his wife had meant to her.
"I've been so happy here," she said, looking round. Her eyes
rested on the writing table behind him. It was here they had
worked-she and Angela. For Angela had her share of the duties
that fall to the lot of a prominent politician's wife. She had been
the greatest help to him in his career. He had often seen her and
Sissy sitting at that table-Sissy at the typewriter, taking down
letters from her dictation. No doubt Miss Miller was thinking of
that, too. Now all he had to do was to give her the brooch his
wife had left her. A rather incongruous gift it seemed. It might
have been better to have left her a sum of money, or even the
typewriter. But there it was-"For Sissy Miller, with my love."

Emily's Husband
By Lucy Maud Montgomery
From the first Emily had loved Stephen. Indeed, deep down in
her strange, wayward heart, she had cared for him long before
the memorable day when he had first looked at her with seeing
eyes and realized that the quiet, unthought-of child who had
been growing up at the old Phillips place had blossomed out
into a woman of strange, seraph-like beauty and deep grey eyes
whose expression was nevermore to go out of Stephen Fair's
remembrance from then till the day of his death.
John and Amelia Phillips put their own unjustifiable dislike of
Stephen aside when they found that Emily's heart was set on
him. The two were married after a brief courtship and Emily
went out from her girlhood's home to the Fair homestead, two
miles away.

Stephen's mother lived with them. Janet Fair had never liked
Emily. She had not been willing for Stephen to marry her. But,
apart from this,the woman had a natural, ineradicable love of
making mischief and took a keen pleasure in it. She loved her
son and she had loved her husband, but nevertheless, when
Thomas Fair had been alive she had fomented continual strife
and discontent between him and Stephen. Now it became her
pleasure to make what trouble she could between Stephen and
his wife.
She had the advantage of Emily in that she was always sweet-
spoken and, on the surface, sweet-tempered. Emily, hurt and
galled in a score of petty ways, so subtle that they were beyond
a man's courser comprehension, astonished her husband by
her fierce outbursts of anger that seemed to him for the most
part without reason or excuse.
