And the young wife looks in her husband's face,
And then in her guest's, and shows in her own
Her sense that she fills an envied place;
And the visiting lady is all abloom,
And says there was never so sweet a room.

The guest sits smiling and sips her tea,
And he throws her a stray glance yearningly. — Thomas Hardy
