BUT / IF I WERE DISPOSED TO BE CRITICAL, I SHOULD SAY THAT GROWN-UP NEPHEWS WHO KISS THEIR AUNTS BY MARRIAGE SHOULD KISS / THEM SOMEWHAT MORE DEFFERENTIALLY[ AND PERFUNCTORILY—MORE LIKE A TIMID FLY WHO APPROACHES A PIECE OF ROCK-CANDY, / AND NOT QUITE SO MUCH LIKE A HUNGRY ORPHAN TURNED IN A BAKE-SHOP. I´D TELL HIS MOTHER, AMELIA, IF I WERE / YOU. HE NEEDS TRAINING."
