Part of being a member of the aristocracy is the necessity of always presenting a cheerful front. You would never see the Royal Family in England or the President of America showing sad or tired faces to their nations because it would demoralise them. They always appear in public smiling and with an air of confidence; as the leaders of the people it is their duty to appear happy and optimistic.

Part of making it easy, as a wife, for your husband to "cling to you" is that you appear attractive to him; you should be well-dressed with a pleasant demeanour so that your husband is attracted to you, and you alone.
