“मैं देखती थी कि किस तरह मेरे गाँव की महिलाएं खेतों में काम करते हुए और ससुराल में पशुओं का ध्यान रखने में जीवन बिता देती हैं। यह पशु और खेत उनके नाम होते भी नहीं। घर की बहुएं दिन-रात बंधुआ मजदूर की तरह काम करती हैं। शादी होना यानी बिना तनख्वाह के घर, खेत में काम करने वाली मिल जाना क्योंकि गांव-देहात में महिलाएं पहनने के कपड़े भी अपने मायके से लेकर आती हैं। उस समय तक बस इतना ही शोषण समझ आता था।”

“Edward was calming down rapidly, to Micky's relief. Micky said: "When we're first married, we should probably spend a few evenings at home, and give the occasional dinner party. But after a while we'll go right back to normal." Edward frowned. "Don't wives mind that?" Micky shrugged. "Who cares whether they mind? What can a wife do?"

"The trick is not to be too good to them," Micky said, speaking from observation of married cronies at the Cowes Club. "If you're good to a wife she'll want you to stay with her. Treat her roughly and she'll be only too glad to see you go off to your club in the evening and leave her in peace.”

They pour gold into the cracks, and the piece is even more beautiful than it was before it broke." He turned his head and stared into me. "You broke our marriage.
