HR Haggard wrote SHE in 1887,about an Amazon queen, She, who must be obeyed. Modern use,though, has put the Mrs into the amazon queen role...!

Rumpole of the Bailey only ever referred to his wife as She who must be obeyed - Rumpole almost certainly read Ryder Haggard at school (or John Mortimer did anyway)

Truth and fiction

<<or John Mortimer did, anyway)>>

John Mortimer himself said that, in his barrister days, the distinction between himself and Rumpole wasn't always clear in his client's mind.

Having lost a case for one such customer, a professional Sarf London criminal, he went to see him in the cells afterwards, for a consolatory word, to be greeted with "your Mister Rumpole would have got me orf"

Quite a lot in the last 16 years

A full list of everything she has stood for/put up with might be incriminating. So, lets say she is very tolerant indeed.

Re: Quite a lot in the last 16 years

Oooh. A sort of backhanded (or hamfisted) compliment. Should we assume SHE's reading over your shoulder?
