Quote of the Day

Jack asked me to stay behind for a minute after his other guests had gone. He had asked Joy to stay at the Kilns, and he wanted my advice. Should he and Warren behave in their usual holiday fashion, walking, drinking beer, and eating bread and cheese in pubs? Or should they try to be more conventional hosts? I said they should do as they usually did on holiday, and later I heard from Warren that the visit was a great success. "We treated her just as if she were a man. She loved the pubs, walked fairly well considering she was not used to it, drank her pints of beer and often made us laugh."
