V--2nd, Chap 12: "nobody knows what a Maltese is"

[alice wellintown]

Don't know if Paola is the embodiment of anything more than charity
now that hope and faith have left the island, but that aphorism,
perhaps some pragmatic stocism with a bit of catholic guilt seems a
good lesson to take from Paul if not from Sphere. Sphere, of course,
is far to flipity to figure, and I would't trust anyone who wears a J
Press suit and drives a triumph. Hell, Stuyvesant Owlglass wears J
Press and buys his daughter a little sports car like that. Is it ruby?
