Charles Goddard has a good hand on you, but he is gangly and unattractive whereas you are…not. What I mean to say is— Yes, well. The Diagonal is quite crowded today.
The most unfortunate part of all of this is that my brain insists on picturing Mr. Pierce as a version of Mr. Hyde… crotchety and old, hunch-backed, limping, twitchy-eyed, droopy-faced, with raggedy old clothes.
Unfortunate indeed.
