...also delighted," says Morrow, "to give up the little hopping stutter-step necessary to place me on the curbside when walking down the sidewalk with a woman. But I haven't quite abandoned the habit of holding a woman's chair. What I do is place one hand on the back of the chair and then fall into a sort of abstracted trance until the woman is seated, as if I were not entirely responsible for my actions...

She saw it as a way of explaining to her children how a Godfearing woman like herself could have done such a thing. (Actually, an example was close at hand: Cosima was the illegitimate child of Franz Lizst and a married French countess.)
