"Call me Jerry. Why should I tell Bobs first?"
"She is such a good friend; she would want to hear it from you."
"I'm not so sure about that. We'll see. Are there some best friends you have to tell?"
"Only one—Martin Christiansen."
"Christiansen—the critic fellow?"
"He is my only friend."
"You've got good taste in your friends, Jane. He is one of the most sought-after men in this town. I suppose you know his story?"
"No; I am not in his confidence."
"Hasn't he told you about his wife?"
"No. I did not know he had one."
