...simple man, and especially since (as possible subsequent investigation by secret-agents Wyant and Poskanzer will bear out) I am only an English major. Yet the April 26th letter, by the individuals mentioned above, confuses me a little. Far from wishing to submerge myself in this blood-bath of fierce partystrife, I would merely like to tender timidly some thoughts which are in no way representative of anybody except possibly some other member of the great unwashed such as myself...

She knows her dress. If it is a line that stands better than it sits, she will spend the evening standing-and standing in a particular posture . . . Say what you will, the effect...
...love and affection ... I'd always have dinner ready for her when she got home. I'd take off her shoes and bring her her slippers and fix her a drink. I pressed her dresses when her maid wasn't here. I'd draw her bath and give her massages. I felt it was a privilege to do things for her. She'd say, 'Well, what do you want? You're adequately fed and clothed.' I didn't want money. I wanted love, but she hasn't time...
