Thrill Kids (1955)
“Who is Ina, Bardo?
A. Ina who?
Q. You mentioned her to the others at one time. Do you remember? You said she was your girl.
A. Lady! She is a lady! Do youthink a gentleman would divulge a lady’s name?
— From a psychiatric interview with Bardo Raleigh THE RING was always kept on the right-hand side of the top drawer of the bureau in his mother’s room. Bardo considered it ironic that such a cheap piece of ten-carat gold should be encased in a fine velvet box. Often, while his mother was sitti...ng at the dressing table putting on the finishing touches of her make-up, Bardo would play with the ring. He could remember very little about the man who had given it to her. Bardo’s father had died when he was not quite three. What he could recall about Thornton Raleigh was mostly inventions of his imagination, inspired by things his mother said about him from time to time. Things like: “He was brilliant, Bar, but he was a little lost boy. He’d lose a button on his shirt and never notice it….MoreLess
