When Lelia was Spence Hawk's secretary, she went out of her way to satisfy all of his whims and physical desires.

"[This is] one in a raft of books about suburban life that appeared steadily through the 1950s and 1960s [...] the books can tell us a lot about the preoccupations of midcentury Americans.
