Harfleur asked the host, "Who's that? With Rich.
She looks like a giant sequoia."
Rage was an old friend of the host, Charlie Rolfe.
Beanie, of course, was an old friend of three of the
guests. Unnoticed by the others, the couple had come
into the loft after the film started, had left for a walk
along Village streets before the film ended, and now
had returned so that Richard could again press Rolfe for
the $200
owed him, for he wished to find some haven in
which to shelter this woman, if possible, forever. Last
night they had spent at a painter's on Bank Street,
where, for the evening, they had left Beanie's dog, Big
Mutt, whom the painter wanted to use as a model. He
needed a bear and couldn't afford one.
"My God, Tracy! There's Beanie!" said Mrs.
Ransom.
"It is!" said Mrs. Canopy.
"With Mr. Rage," said Mrs. Troyes.
"What in the g.d.h. does she think she's doing?"
"She's eating shrimp salad at the buffet."
