I can recall quite well what she said to me, when I was about five, and she

explained. So maybe I should just use her explanation, instead of trying to find

the words myself.

"Women are so sensitive, darling. They have to be. They have to be aware what a

man wants, what their children want. They have antennae all over them, whiskers

of feeling. And unfortunately that has a down side. It means they get hurt so

easily. And then they doubt. And soon they just can't believe. She'll say to her

husband, 'You don't love me anymore. I can see it in your face.' Maybe he's just

tired -- or maybe his love is tired. But she'll read something so awful into it.

And then she'll nag and rave on, and drive him crazy. And in the end he won't be

able to stand it. He'll slap her or worse, he'll leave her. And what good will

that do her? And men, you see, honey, sometimes they do little things...little

things it's better for a wife not to know. It's much nicer if she needn't worry

about if she can forgive him. Do you remember that silly song, "Lipstick on your

Collar"? Well, the women here in Town don't ever have to bother about that. Most

of all, the thing they always see, with the eye of the heart, is how he looked

at them last. All that wanting and care, that love. And when he tells you he

loves you, why, he does. Oh darling, we're so lucky."
