"I am not sure what I am an example of-or to," he said, on one occasion, in his light, rather cold and detached way, "which is why I at times regard myself in that capacity with a slightly ribald lightness." A reckless young woman once asked him: "Are you as wicked as people say you are?" "I really don't know. It is so difficult to decide," he answered. "Perhaps I am as wicked as I know how to be. And I may have painful limitations or I may not." He had reached the age when it was safe to apply to him that vague term "elderly," and marriage might have been regarded as imperative.
