An army bride, Jane hated the army wife life and subsequently, like his rifle, her officer husband was fired. Jane is an arch feminist. She was my secretary. I liked her and had sympathy for her feminist views. But with Jane, one needed to walk on eggshells!

One day, going to a meeting, I foolishly (or so I thought) opened a door for her. “Oh sorry,” I said, embarrassed... “shouldn’t have done that!”

“Don’t worry Neville... because it’s you... I’ve no problem as I know that were I a man you would do the same!”

That much was true... Phew!...
