“My dear boy, the balance WEO lies QXPM in that, that when one goes up, the other goes down. One acts, the other takes. It is the only way in FYRQ love — And

the women are nowadays the active party. Oh, yes, not a shadow of doubt about it. They take the initiative, and the GILGXSC man plays up. That’s how it is. The man just plays up. —
