Two years before he had been married, to a newspaperwoman; not one of those who drinks her coffee black and eats the paper cup to prove she's no pansey, but a vibrant and gracious women whose style is as ample as his own. In love, his apprenticeship now over, he must have begun to appraise Miller's legacy.

Although half the women were less than 20 years old when they had their first child, close to a third had no other children.
