What does the narrator allude to at the end of this sentence from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note"? So I loved her all the more, seeing she could be so cheerful when there wasn't anything to be cheerful about; for I might soon need that kind of wife, you know, the way things looked

I would say that the narrator alludes to the possibility of requiring a wife who could match Adam's social standards.
He says that things are soon going to change, and that he may need a wife who can cope with these unfortunate changes.
