Duty Calls

"I asked him quietly what my duties as a wife would be," Eva wrote. "I wanted to know whether I should prepare meals for him, whether he needed me as a full-time housewife or whether I would be able to continue with my research and writing. 'You have to open your legs,' Alan replied briefly. At first, what he said seemed rude and vulgar. Then I had to laugh. I realised that this was how Englishmen think - at least how this Englishman of mine thought."
~ Hungarian historian and diarist Eva Haraszti-Taylor on her marriage to British historian Alan JP Taylor
