I love books, and the people who read them, and if that makes me intolerant of the video and computer age, it doesn’t matter much in here. Paul was embarrassed by my job. It didn’t fit in with his creative Director image at dinner parties. He’d rather I had either stayed at home, and then he could continue to make jokes about me being the last housewife in captivity; or else that I had found some trendy, highly-paid job in the media. When I pointed out that I did work in the media, it just wasn’t very highly paid, he would look pained. I’ve always been addicted to the printed word. A former headmistress once said, “If Constance had nothing else to read, she’d read the label on a jam jar!” She meant to be scathing, and the other girls tittered sycophantically, but I thought she was being silly. You could learn a lot from the labels on jam jars... and besides, the other girls would only gaze into space and moon. Was that supposed to be better? So my first thought, when Kate started school and I decided I could now take a job with a clear conscience, was something to involve me with books. I would have been quite happy in a bookshop, but the humiliation of having his wife working as a shop assistant was more than Paul could contemplate. I tried to argue that all advertising is only selling. I’d heard him propound the argument often enough at dinner parties, when smart women fresh out of university and burning to write had asked him if it wasn’t an awful come down, when you’d got a First in English, to wind up working in advertising? The moment he heard that contemptuous stress on the first syllable, a advertising, adman, Paul would assume his patient, sophisticated smile and take them through his catechism about selling. But evidently the same didn’t apply to me and bookshops. 33 |
