judged by people
of a different standard:

:12:04
publishers, authors,

as understanding as we are.

:12:14
Mrs. Jordan, you sound as if
Ted and I are getting married.

:12:19
That's hardly the case.
:12:21
Oh, I know, dear, it's just that, well,

:13:25
how wonderful he was?
:13:27
That he loved me.
:13:42
In six months,
we were married.

:13:45
After the wedding,
the fears began to sink in...

:13:49
take hold.-
:13:51
Everything I had married into.
:13:53
The pressure, the weight of it.
:13:57
I promised myself
that I could handle it.
