favorite couples from history: jessica mitford & robert treuhaft ♥“I met a fantastically beautiful woman who attracted me not only by her charm and wit, but by her frugality. I watched with fascination as she moved down the line of the counter of the cafeteria. She would pick up a glass of tomato juice, down it, and set the empty glass down below the counter. Then a sandwich, disposing of the plate in the same way. When she reached the cashier, she had nothing on her tray but a cup of coffee - cost of lunch, five cents. This, I decided, was the girl for me.” - Bob“Some of his letters would contain a tantalizing few words that could be construed as a Sign: ‘You’re so wonderful flushed with fever that I feel jumpy at the thought of missing it.’ When we married, the fog lifted and everything came beautifully into focus. My heart flipped for him.” - Jessica“Once Bob put his valise down on the train platform and they stood eye to eye, there was the welcome kiss, the glad-to-see-you kiss, and the clinging, passionate kiss, after which we will draw a veil.” - Leslie Brody“The wonder and the beauty of it all just left me speechless. I asked her to marry me and she said yes before I had a chance to finish. She is just magnificent in every way - and completely devoted. She is the only girl I’ve ever known that I know I can be completely happy with, whatever may happen.” - Bob’s letter to his mother after marrying Jessica“I was terrifically lonely without him. We are tremendously happy and all the bitter, horrible past months seem to have vanished. How wonderful everything is!” - Jessica’s letter to her mother after marrying Bob”They were married for 53 years, and for 53 years she was in love with him. Thought he hung the moon, and all that other 1930s love-ballad stuff.” - Molly Ivins“My God, they had been married for 200 years and every time she heard his car pull up in the driveway she’d say, ‘Bob’s here; it’s Bob!’“ - Maya Angelou“I must say I’m glad it’s me first as I v. much doubt I’d bother to go on much if it was you.” - Jessica’s deathbed letter to Bob -- source link
