OH THESE WOMEN!
A contemporary reveals the secret of Snowden’s success at the Plague. It was not his own unquenchable spirit that carried him through. It was the wisdom and devotion of Mrs. Snowden, who in the darkest hour sat with him on the sea. front and passed to him a couple of scribbled verses from Kipling’s “If”. Thus inspired, the Iron Chancellor went back to his bargaining. It is a very pretty story, the prettier if true. Yet even without this inspiration the resqlts might have been the same. Snowden may have been far too deeply immersed in his own troubles to worry about Kipling and his unforgiving minute. But he is not the first man who has been afraid to be rude to his wife.
