"It's awkward. If I'm to make the thing clear to you, I've got to trust you and I don't know a thing about you. I wish I had thought of that before I inserted the advertisement."
Ashe appreciated the difficulty.
"Wouldn't you make an A B case out of it?"
"Maybe I could, if I knew what an A B case was."
"Call the people mixed up in it A and B."
"And forget halfway through who was which! No, I guess I'll have to trust you."
