I choke on h His eyes are too keen forKline the way I do—we started out as BAD rugby teammates and have remained friends ever since—I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he’s somehow sniffed out my situation

I’ve seen hi the secrets of others too many times not to treat him like the clever bastard he is

Yeah, now definitely wasn’t the time
