He likes to buy new limousines and restyle them to his own exacting taste...
Margy began going with Frankie Malone knowing he wasn't much. "But he was better than nobody. He would have served until a real boy friend came along." Frankie was the son of a policeman who tried to toughen him up by making him go out and fight with the boys. He grew up with an abiding fear of being a sissy, sensitive, selfconscious, a good dancer, a hard worker, ashamed of his family and relentlessly honest with himself.
