“Do we just stick?’ ‘Yes, well... Bugs everywhere, my dear, one wouldn’t be surprised...?’ suggested Rufie uneasily and hurried on to say, as though they had been referring to no other subject, that the new boyfriend had turned up last night and stayed till dawn.
‘What did you think of him?’ ‘I’ll tell you something,’ said Rufie, laughing, ‘he didn’t think much of me!’ ‘On the stuffy side?’ ‘You can say that again; but fallen for her, hook, line and thingummy.’ ‘What does he make of recent event...s?’ said Etho.

One thing at a time.’ ‘Especially if it’s sex.’ ‘It’s more than sex this time,’ said Rufie. ‘He’s even free for matrimony.’ ‘Poor Rufie!’ said Etho, who, himself playing it ever cool and detached, nevertheless had ears and whiskers to recognise the tremor in other hearts.MoreLess
