The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Economist by Xenophon: transactions of the husband, as a rule, that goods of all sorts find
their way into the house, yet it is by means of the wife's economy and
thrift that the greater part of the expenditure is checked, and on the
successful issue or the mishandling of the same depends the increase
or impoverishment of a whole estate. And so with regard to the
remaining arts and sciences, I think I can point out to you the ablest
performers in each case, if you feel you have any further need of
help.[16]
[15] Aspasia. See "Mem." II. vi. 36.
[16] Al. "there are successful performers in each who will be happy to
illustrate any point in which you think you need," etc.
