Great subject this week! Although, gosh, he really wasn't nice to his wife!! I have two sisters and cannot imagine my husband openly preferring them - while I have TEN of his children 😱

Yeah I really don’t know why he didn’t marry one of them instead, it would have made things so much simpler I think! Thank you for the comment! 🤍

Absolutely fascinating. It pains me to admit that i identify somewhat with the flawed, insensitive yet vulnerable picture you paint of him.

Thanks for sharing!

Excellent essay! He really was a human conundrum. He had a funny nickname, now I can’t remember it, have you come across it? Really, as a short introduction, this is first rate!
