The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““The contention of the plaintiff in error is that the husband has the right to' choose the domicile of the family, and it is the duty of the wife to accompany and live with him in the home so selected, unless there be good reason for her refusing to do so, and that a failure of the wife so to do is abandonment, authorizing a divorce. There can be no question that this statement of the law is correct. Buell v. Buell. 42 Wash. 277 . 84 Pac. 821 ; Franklin v. Franklin, 190 Mass. 349 , 77 N. E. 48 , 4 L. R. A. (N. S.) 145, 5 Ann. Cas. 851; 14 Cyc. 612.””
