Hi
But there's a word "tidily" too.
Maybe it says that she grumbled about her but she did it in a quite decent way. He says she's not as ignorant as most. It seems to me that the fact she's not as ignorant as most has got something to do with this phrase, but maybe I'm wrong.
thanks

Hi! Let me take a part at this discussion.
The man's wife used to grumbled good-tidily about Mrs. Westleton when she's being ill. It could be meant that there's somebody who is better and tidier or more perfect than her. Her jealous made her be ill. Ups! it's only my simple thought toward this topic.
Thanks a lot.
