   Surely you mean from wives who think they have brains? A wife with brains knows when to keep her mouth shut, and very few know that much. The sharpest wives I’ve ever known were those who knew when to act dumb, and they were a good deal sharper than their husbands.

   The Mrs Gruff excepted of course.

   Congratulations on passing your 11+ by the way.
