Winston Graham. Eclipse (№ 383012)

- Correct in every marriage, in every successful marriage, the woman must be United in three persons, right? She should be a wife and take care of her husband, as it should be. She also needs to wear his children, bloated like summer squash, and then continuously feeding them to wipe, and they will hang on her heels... But there is a third role - she must be a mistress that it is still interesting that he wants, not just someone who is always on hand as a convenient. A bit mysterious, like the lady that yesterday was hunting, someone whose knees or shoulders... or he did not immediately recognize when you see it next to the bed. And it's impossible.
Ross laughed.
- Of course, this also applies to the opposite side. To what wife expects from her husband.
