TR pt 2 ch 2 Self absorbed Wyatt is not as virtuous as Stanley

[Michael Bailey]

let's blame the right person - I wrote that, not Mark.
A-and I did mean to distance Wyatt from Roark after stating the
resemblance, but got distracted --

Roark lacks a certain quality, let's call it likeability?  He's always
up on his high horse.  He doesn't have any sense of irony.  I feel
sure that he would disdain my friendship.  None of that's completely
true of Wyatt...right?
