Also, the excerpt reveals that what his wife wanted didn't make much difference to Wright. It then means that he didn't care about his wife's opinion.

Mr. Wright also reported that the folks talked too much and in talking too much, they should have gossiped and he didn't want to be part of that. So, he preferred staying alone and isolated.
