Pile & Putter. While Lucy moves into the dressing room that Ginger Rogers once occupied as queen of RKO and keeps an eye on the commissary (she hates "bad studio food"), Desi will reign in an oak-and-leather throne room, surrounded by deep pile, a disappearing bar, and a putter alongside the desk. The new Hollywood tycoon is already awakening echoes of older ones. As workmen remodeled buildings for directors, producers and writers, he said: "Those cubbyholes were no good.

...Once upon a time there was a large-eared, drip-nosed fugitive from multiplication and Sunday school ... He lived in the Victorian, gabled, ginger-bready house of his maternal grandpa, a sea captain with a bushy mustache. This man's name was Edward Hall Adkins. The Negroes called him Cap'n Hawley and the white folks called him Ned Hall. Ned could shoot very fine and whittle very good and in his eyes a small boy was never never very wrong...
