Some years ago I was talking to a couple of women in their 90s. We talked about all sorts of things, but when we had discussed love and courtship for a short while, one of them jogged my arm gently and asked if I had a husband. I said I didn’t.

“But then you must have a boyfriend?”. I didn’t know how to best answer the question so I muttered some objections. Eventually, I said that I had had a few but that none had stuck around for a very long time. She laughed at my awkwardness and told me not to worry about that too much, she then grinned and said: “One comes as another goes, and they all ride swiftly.”
