The police discovered a closet filled with women's lingerie, monogrammed or labeled with the names of Taylor's conquests.

He preferred the way Ernst Lubitsch had handled the subject, by hint and suggestion-the hand of a bride dropping her nightgown outside the bridal-chamber door, then the door closing, leaving the rest to imagination.
