Read the following passage from "My Father Writes to My Mother."

Question

As my mother's ability to speak French improved, while I was still a child of no more than twelve, I came to realize an irrefutable fact: namely that, in the face of all these womenfolk, my parents formed a couple. One thing was an even greater source of pride in me: when my mother referred to any of the day-to-day incidents of our village life -- which in our city relative's eyes was very backward -- the tall figure of my father -- my childhood hero -- seemed to pop up in the midst of all these women engage in idle chit-chat on the age-old patios to which they were confined.
