"One day..." Anne said vaguely, wrapping her hands around her cup. "I don't want to marry anytime soon. Being pregnant seems quite awful, especially for a fishwife, and marriage... marriage seems to make so many people unhappy. I mean... not everyone," she said quickly. "You seem happy and yer married. And I think me parents were happy... well when nothing sad happened. But... there are a lot of men who aren't nice and even some of the nice ones treat their wife like they are t' maid. And it really isn't fair, that they act like they are in charge, because the women work just as hard and we are just as smart. But sometimes men act like they're adults and we are children." Anne turned red when she realized how passionately she had been speaking. "I'm sorry. That was unkind."
