Making love

Of Mistress Smith No, my friends and I only helped her to escape her husband. And he would have done nothing, left to himself, for he wished to be free of her as much as she of him. Tis commonly done. But he has powerful friends, whom it suited to have me accused of ravishing her away... No. It was not she. He was silent, staring into the fire. Love makes us what we are, as much as war, and both may lead us to Heaven. ... 

Lastly, I thank my wife, Maguy, whose support and love make me want to do better. 

The CAKES IN this CHAPTER are the ones I m known for—the ones I ve baked for years and love making over and over again, for all kinds of occasions. The recipes can make either cakes or cupcakes, so depending on your mood or the type of party, you can decide which to bake. Chocolate always seems to be the most popular for birthdays, but I ve included a few different options, which vary from truly decadent to simple and quick. 

Both ladies had relied on information from the same source. Love makes fools of us all. 

Also, in documentaries, there s the constant frustration of low budget you re quite restricted on what you can do and how you can do it. So that s why I love making [dramatic] features, is that you get to play more. You can use more complicated film grammar, in terms of what shots you can do and the time you re given to do them. So I find that quite liberating. 

To my wonderful wife and soul-mate Celia whose patience, support and love make each day worth living.
