Freda was looking very sad whilst talking to her best friend Kitty. "Ever since we got married, Robert has been trying to change me. That’s all he seems to do. He got me to stop drinking, cut down significantly on my smoking, and he stopped me going shopping at Brent Cross at all hours of the day. He taught me how to dress well, how to enjoy the fine arts, he got me to enjoy gourmet cooking, classical music and recently how to invest in the stock market. He even sent me to Hebrew Classes."

On hearing this, Kitty said, "Sounds like you are just a little bitter because Robert spends so much time trying to change you."

"I'm not bitter, " said Freda. "Now that I'm so improved, I find he just isn't good enough for me any more."
