V-2nd - Chapter 10: Partridge in a Pear tree

[Mark Kohut]

Yes, Michael, that capital You is a small case 'you' in the later 
HarperPerennial Classics edition. 

And, I sorta always thought he, artist, is so committed to his art, he'd rather 
sleep alone....
In his 'chaste army cot'...

Or, do others think he just doesn't want to do it with Esther, "after 
Schoenmaker cut her off"????

Didn't notice that one, Michael.  Guess I was too busy being offended by the 
crack about the Sunday Times crossword puzzle.  Phony?  Hmmmph!
