“I was only teasing you. I could hardly have been serious after you have called me a worm, and an old man. So now—when will you come again?”
“In about a month. Let’s go out as Guys on the fifth of November.”
“A month be blowed! I want to know which day next week?”
“I am full up next week.”
“Full up of what?”
“Lorraine Vivian, Dick Bruce, Quin, the Beloved Chief, and the Baby.”
“What a list! Is Lorraine Vivian the actress? Who are Quin and the Baby?”
“She is… and they are!…”
“Who does the Baby belong to?”
“It would be difficult to say. About a dozen probably claim him.”
