Private Life

Margaret Mayfield is nearly an old maid at twenty-seven when she marries Captain Andrew Jackson Jefferson Early. Yet Andrew confounds Margaret's expectations from the moment their train leaves for his naval base in San Francisco, and soon she realizes that his devotion to science leaves little room for anything, or anyone, else.

Margaret Mayfield este aproape o femeie de serviciu in varsta de douazeci si sapte de ani cand se casatoreste cu capitanul Andrew Jackson Jefferson Early. Cu toate acestea, Andrew incurca asteptarile lui Margaret din momentul in care trenul lor pleaca spre baza sa navala din San Francisco si in curand ea isi da seama ca devotamentul lui pentru stiinta lasa putin loc pentru orice, sau oricui, altcineva.
