SLOTE: You can’t intend to marry him. It would be the greatest possible mistake. I say this as a friend, and somebody who knows you better than anyone else. ME: I told Byron that too. I said it would be ridiculous for me to marry him, and gave him all the reasons. SLOTE: Well, then, what on earth have you in mind? ME: I’m just reporting a fact to you. I haven’t anything in mind.
