Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
And part of that is, what is the point of having children if you don't have the privilege of bringing them up?
I liked The Slipper and the Rose, as I have already mentioned, because it was such a lovely film to do.
