Truly Alice, books are wonderful things to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and still be safe when you close the book and having finished it, discover you are changed, yet unchanged!

Because clearly the most amazing thing had happened: by some chance - no, the lover does not believe in chance, but destiny - destiny had arranged it so that the man and woman who had made the original whole, then somehow divided and separated by an angry God, had met up again, and now must reform the rightful, righteous whole. At once!

We shelter children for a time we live side by side with men and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.
