The Rose-Garden Husband is an affectionate tale about the "Liberry teacher" Phyllis and the invalid named Allan who she marries. Excerpt: "The Liberry Teacher lifted her eyes from a half-made catalogue card, eyed the relentlessly slow clock, and checked a long wriggle of purest, frankest weariness. Then she gave a furtive glance around to see if the children had noticed she was off guard; for if they had she knew the whole crowd might take more liberties than they ought to, and have to be spoken to by the janitor."
