When it came to talking, there was not much for the two diplomats to talk about. As to Spain, Signor Mussolini indicated he expected a Franco victory soon, and when that was achieved it would be time enough to talk further about Italy's demands on France. (An Italianate Spain would probably put France in a bargaining mood.) He was willing to discuss the plight of the Jews with other powers, but to send none to Ethiopia.

Outline for an episode (Backstage Wife) may read something like this: "Suspecting that Cynthia Valcourt murdered Candy Dolan with Ward Ellman's gun, after Tess left the fiat, Mary, Larry and Ward rush to Tony Valcourt's penthouse to have a talk with Tony and Cynthia, having sent Tess Morgan to her apartment.

Flann One-Hand wanders over Ireland itself, gets mixed up with Fer Rogain, Conaire the King, cools a rustic spitfire named Dairne. Most adventurous part of the tale is the oldtime Gaelic talk: Says Delgaun of Alor: "She has red hair and she stays in a man's mind. Brief enough, but enough. She draws men and men draw her-one pull goes with the other always...
