Miss Julia's Gift: a Penguin Special From Viking
“The less said about that marriage the better, although I’m likely to mention it now and then.
All through that first year with Sam, I simply hadn’t known what to do with him. It had about driven me crazy. I look back now and wonder how he’d put up with me. Oh, I had my excuses and plenty of them, but the main one concerned my other husband, Wesley Lloyd—long dead by then, though briefly mourned. Even so, a twice-married woman can hardly avoid comparing husbands, can she?
I mean, how els...e can she tell if she’s made a better choice the second time around? I’ve heard of women who keep marrying the same kind of man over and over, and if there was one thing I hadn’t wanted to do, it was to marry another Wesley Lloyd Springer. That was why I’d kept putting Sam off every time he brought up the subject of marriage, delaying and equivocating, afraid that under that warm, sweet, easygoing, live-and-let-live personality of his there lurked a harsh and rigid taskmaster like the one I’d just buried.MoreLess
