"Is that why you are so desperately anxious to obtain it?"
"Not exactly."
"What do you propose to do when it arrives?"
"Look and act as though it were the one thing on earth I had always longed for. Unless it is violent enough to stun me, in which case I shall set my teeth and say nothing."
"Lynn, you're a fool!"
"I have frequently suspected as much."
