People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier.
From Mary Wesley
Rebecca is an example of how not to manage men. The rules of the game never change, it requires subtlety.
That image of the countryside being a threatening place still exists. People continue to resist the challenge of learning about aspects of life they don't understand.
They may turn out to be a great disappointment, or perhaps they may be full of enchanting surprises.
Twenty years ago, I was living in a lovely cottage on the edge of Dartmoor but I couldn't afford to run a car.
Unimaginative people are spared quite a lot. They're often much happier, because they don't go through all the variety of conceptions of the person they love.
