Storm without and within? So the windmiller might have said, if he
had been in the habit of putting his thoughts into an epigrammatic
form, as a groan from his wife and a growl of thunder broke
simultaneously upon his ear, whilst the rain fell scarcely faster
than her tears. It was far from mending matters that both storms
were equally unexpected. For eight full years the miller's wife had
been the meekest of women. If there was a firm (and yet, as he
flattered himself, a just) husband in all the dreary straggling
district, the miller was that man. And he always did justice to his
wife's good qualities, -at least to her good quality of submission,
-and would, till lately, have upheld her before any one as a model
of domestic obedience. From the day when he brought home his bride,
tall, pretty, and perpetually smiling, to the tall old mill and the
ugly old mother who never smiled at all, there had been but one
will in the household. At any rate, after the old woman's death.
