Matrimonial Adventure of Governor Wentworth
The Knickerbocker for April prints a long tale about Gov Wentworth the last colonial governor of New Hampshire. It recounts his marriage to a much younger wife whose late hours lead to a comic ruse and a stubborn exchange over curfews. The governor’s reaction reveals their stubborn domestic dynamic and hints at a lasting tension in their union.
