He had very few criticisms to make of Precious Ramotswe, his wife and founder of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, but if one were to make a list of her faults-which would be a minuscule document, barely visible, indeed, to the naked eye-one would perhaps have to include a tendency {only a slight tendency, of course} to claim that things that she happened to believe were well known.
In "The Double Comfort Safari Club" by Alexander McCall Smith, the character reflects on his wife, Precious Ramotswe, who runs the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. He acknowledges that while she possesses remarkable qualities, there are very few faults to mention, making any list of criticisms virtually nonexistent. This underscores the deep admiration he holds for her, indicating their strong relationship and his limited grievances.
Among the minuscule list of faults, he humorously notes her tendency to assert that widely accepted knowledge aligns with her beliefs. This observation highlights her confidence and possibly her sense of authority in her field. Overall, his remarks reveal a supportive and affectionate perspective on Precious, portraying her as a competent and respected figure in her community.
