Holly says, “Henry, people will wonder how boys get such names as “Goose” and “Horse” and “Piss”. You must tell them.”

“It is all in “The Southpaw”,” I said.

“Then tell them the pages,” she said, and I said I would, and I spent about an hour flipping through the pages and could not find where I said it, though I know I did. I guess I ought to know.

“You find the pages,” I said, “and write them down.”

“That is all I have on my mind,” she said. “I have washing and dipering the baby to do, and your mail to answer and your tax to be figuring out and your insurance racket and your food and your car to be running in and getting greased and your telephone to be answering all day, and now all I am supposed to do is start reading your book all over again.”

“Do you wish me to finish this book before the winter meetings?” I said. “If so, find the goddam pages.”

“I will not,” she said, which she must of meant because she never did. “And do not swear around the baby.”

“When she is old enough to understand I will stop,” I said, and I will, or at least I hope I will, though I do not always do everything. All winter all I was going to do was lay around and play with the baby, and then I never done so. I will certainly do it next winter or die trying.
