...which he buried some of the "dead" who are still quite quick. He took special delight in his "scabrous epitaph" for Critic Malcolm Muggeridge, 63, who had done one of the obits offensive to Auberon. "In an unsavoury and fashion-obsessed period of history," wrote Evelyn's lad, himself a novelist and journalist, "he taught us all how disgusting we were. It may well have been the case that in the last years of his life, he laid in front of the fire growling at anyone who approached him, losing great patches of fur on the carpet and only...

...themselves, adoption for their unborn child. In intellectual hock to his psychoanalyst, Beau has convinced Barbara that he and she are emotionally unready for parenthood. A hotter squarehead prevails. Hiram Sherman is a proper-minded homosexual, more censorious than Cato the Elder. He has raised Beau since the lad was a 15-year-old pickup in a gay bar, and he is disgusted with Beau's flibbertigibbet irresponsibility. Sherman's performance is an up tick in a dramatic bear market, but he doesn't keep the play from sliding inexorably toward its happy bankrupt ending...
