I’ve probably given you the idea that Elizabeth didn’t have much tact or, at least, that she didn’t go out of her way to use it. And that’s true and it was the cause of a lot of our trouble. But now that I think about it, it seems like the thing that caused the most hell was that I never knew quite how she was going to react to a given situation.

I don’t mean that I’d want any woman to be all cut and dried in her actions, or that I ever expected anyone to use me as a pattern. But I do say you’ve got to have some—well, some standard of conduct or you don’t have anything at all. You’ve got to know whether what you’re going to do will make a person happy or sore. You’ve got to know whether a person is actually happy when they—he—she looks like and says she is or at least you’ve got to know that she isn’t. And if that sounds mixed up I am and I was, right from the day we were married.
