eally sure she ought to go back to her husband. What I mean is, I'm not really sure the girl knew what she was doing when she married him. And frankly, her loyalty to him strikes me as a little misplaced, although I believe he did come to her rescue in a very bad situation. And loyalty ought to be admired, even if misplaced, I suppose." "She was worried that there might be some question of her legal status. I thought you might tell her that Mr. Abernathy says her marriage is perfectly legal, as is her entry as an immigrant." "Yes, she has her green card. Her work permit. Thank you. I'll tell her first thing in the morning that you called. Maybe you could drop by the Tea Shoppe. You know, I don't think we've ever actually seen you in there. Please come let me give you a pastry. And I know Chin will want to thank you." "There's no cause, but thank you. I'll try to come." "And all my sympathy about poor Alf Marco. Will there be services tomorrow?" "I'm sorry. I'm not really sure yet. I was not actually a close friend, I'm afraid."
"Well, I'd like to send a few flowers. I can hardly keep up with them in my yard, and maybe the family, well, yes, I'll see. Good-bye, then, thank you again, good-bye." "Tracy, Winslow. Hope I'm not disturbing. I know how worried you've been, though, and thought I'd just give you a call to say I heard from Beanie just awhile ago. From New York. The phone woke me up, and I'm probably doing the same to you. No? Well, she's all right, I mean, not hurt or anything. And, well, I thought you'd want to know." "I'm glad you called, Winslow. Is she, well, never mind, I'm glad to know nothing's happened to her." "Of course, as I guess you know, Tracy, she has, ah, has felt that, ah, she needs some time to, ah…" "Winslow, oh, I'm sure you two will work this out. I'm just sorry." "Well, I won't keep you up. I just thought you'd be worried." "Yes. Thank you. I'm glad you called." "Ernest, have you ever had an affair?" "What do you mean?"
