START: After we were married I played in the various championships and Margot tagged along. I think she found it all a bit much. Hospitality 鈥� outside this country 鈥� can be pretty exhausting. When we got back she tried to persuade me to give up tennis and play husband instead.
[... 鈥
END: That seemed a far more sensible idea 鈥� and just as I was working out how I could do it 鈥� I suddenly saw something which completely changed my mind. (Pause.) I didn't go to that tournament after all. When I got back she was sitting exactly where you are now. I told her I'd decided to give up tennis and look after her instead.
