Dolores Lane
He treats me like his property. But it’s all fine. I have my ways to escape from the prison he designed for me. He likes his girls proper and innocent. Oh, hubby dearest. You haven’t a clue in the world. You’re going to regret underestimating me. While he’s deep in dreamland, I have other things on my mind. Blood. Revenge. Murder. At night is when I unleash all of my vulgar thoughts on paper. At night is when my fantasies come alive. At night is when I write.
Dolores Lane, Bloody Fingers & Red Lipstick

Peter Jennings
By 1957 97% of all marriageable men and women were married, and if they cared to have a social life, they stayed that way.
Peter Jennings, The Century
