My wife becomes more and more attractive to me each day. Seriously. It’s kinda weird.
Cf. The Wife in Washington Irving's The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., which famously contains The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle.
The Wife is very short, but would be judged hopelessly sentimental these days, and in other days too, I think. It is told matter of factly, but it presents a situation which might seem beyond belief to the cynical. Yet perhaps there is heaven on earth.
