About This Quote

When a woman says that the women who love her husband are "uncommonly second-rate," she is saying something that is extremely unkind. The very nature of "second-rate" would suggest that she doesn't think that her husband deserves the love of anyone else. She doesn't think he's good enough for her, and she's probably right.
