    It was a real treat when he’d read me Daisy Miller out loud. But we’d reached the point in our relationship when, in a straight choice between him and Henry James, I’d have taken Henry James any day even if Henry James were dead and not much of a one for the girls when living, either.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    If you want to know about a man you can find out an awful lot by looking at who he married.
