They customarily made remarks in each other's hearing, which, if offence was intended, was not taken. I often heard my mother claim, in my father's hearing, that she had taken an instant dislike to him the first time she saw him. Yet he seemed to regard this as a tribute. Perhaps he thought it made his subsequent conquest of her the more impressive.' Vissza
