'We saw each other for the first time at a party. I noticed Sarah, I think, because she was happy. I liked her at once because she said she read my books and left the subject there- I had no idea whatever of falling in love with her. For one thing, she was beautiful, and beautiful women, especially if they are intelligent also, stir some deep feeling of inferiorityin me.'
