Where he gets schooled on wives…

If you have not read the previous Sunday Snippets, I recommend doing so first.  You can find them here.
Previously on Sunday Snippets:
When Graeme is caught not knowing what his wife’s favorite jewel is, Stryker quickly sets him straight on what is appropriate jewelry for a wife.

Stryker grinned in a smug sort of way.
“She is fond of those pearls,” Graeme mused, shrugging.  “Perhaps I should get her ear bobs to match.”
“No,” Stryker said, shaking his head, “that will never do, she deserves a gift worthy of a wife.”
Raising his brows, Graeme gave his friend a incredulous look.  “You, inveterate bachelor that you are, what would you know of a wife-worthy gift?”
“I say, it can’t be much different from what you’d gift a mistress, eh?  Just have to make sure it’s something more.”  At his puzzled look, Stryker explains, “A daughter making a debut gets pearls, and ear bobs are strictly for mistresses, unless you are parting ways.”
