If he had one thing to say to the world, it was this: never, never have a child without first getting a reliable mistress. And don’t be deceived by the false horizons - ‘when the breast-feeding is over; when he spends the whole night in his own bed; when he goes to university.’ Like a team of runaway horses, the empty promises hauled a man over shattered stone and giant cactuses, while he prayed for the tangled reins to snap. It was all over, there was no comfort in marriage, just duty and obligation.
