"He was unutterably happy with her. She ruled his home with an economy so adroit that they really seemed to live in luxury." (Page 58)
Adroit:
I think that the word adroit means powerful, because it says thats why they live in luxury. Power can lead to having a luxurious lifestyle.
Adroit (Adjective): clever or skillful in using hands or mind.
The sentence means that she was good with the economy and ruled it, and thats the reason they live in luxury. When she died in the story, M. Lantin seemed to lose the money. This shows that she was clever and skillful using her mind in the economy sense.
