Here is what happened - W comes home sometime after 9.30, when I had already gone to bed, upstairs. Following Bond's recommendation no speech was made, and W was civil the next morning, telling me about the parents' introduction to the school night she had been to, and how rainy all the driving was. Didn't come to the door to wave goodbye or anything, but called "have a good flight". In Newark now (I pass through here pretty often).
Okay, yes, I leaned too heavily on this board, instead of strongly acting. I have a copy of NUTS, will look at it again.
Thanks - Luke
