But
,
Hank
,
don
’
t
forget
what
you
told
me
about
your
women
.
"
"
Told
you
what
?
"
"
You
said
,
’
They
always
come
back
.
’
"
"
That
’
s
just
macho
talk
.
"
"
I
’
ll
come
,
"
she
said
.
"
As
soon
as
I
get
things
straight
here
I
’
ll
make
a
reservation
and
let
you
know
the
details
.
"
When
I
was
in
Texas
Katherine
had
told
me
about
her
life
.
I
was
only
the
third
man
she
had
slept
with
.
There
had
been
her
husband
,
an
alcoholic
track
star
,
and
me
.
Her
ex
-
husband
,
Arnold
,
was
into
show
business
and
the
arts
in
some
way
.
Exactly
how
it
worked
I
didn
’
t
know
.
He
was
continually
signing
contracts
with
rock
stars
,
painters
and
so
forth
.
The
business
was
$
60
,
000
in
debt
,
but
flourishing
.
One
of
those
situations
where
the
further
you
were
in
debt
the
better
off
you
were
.
I
don
’
t
know
what
happened
to
the
track
star
.
He
just
ran
off
,
I
guess
.
And
then
Arnold
got
on
coke
.
The
coke
changed
him
overnight
.
Katherine
said
she
didn
’
t
know
him
anymore
.
It
was
terrifying
.
Ambulance
trips
to
hospitals
.
And
then
he
’
d
be
back
at
the
office
the
next
morning
as
if
nothing
had
happened
.
Then
Joanna
Dover
entered
the
picture
.
A
tall
,
stately
semi
-
millionairess
.
Educated
and
crazy
.
She
and
Arnold
began
to
do
business
together
.
Joanna
Dover
dealt
in
the
arts
like
some
people
deal
in
corn
futures
.
She
discovered
unknown
artists
on
the
way
up
,
bought
their
work
cheap
,
and
sold
high
after
they
became
recognized
.
She
had
that
kind
of
eye
.
And
a
magnificent
6
-
foot
body
.
She
began
to
see
a
lot
of
Arnold
One
evening
Joanna
came
to
pick
up
Arnold
dressed
in
an
expensive
tight
-
fitting
gown
.
Then
Katherine
knew
that
Joanna
really
meant
business
.
So
,
after
that
,
she
went
along
whenever
Arnold
and
Joanna
would
go
out
.
They
were
a
trio
.
Arnold
had
a
very
low
sex
drive
,
so
Katherine
wasn
’
t
worried
about
that
.
She
was
worried
about
the
business
.
Then
Joanna
dropped
out
of
the
picture
,
and
Arnold
got
more
and
more
into
coke
.
More
and
more
ambulance
trips
.
Katherine
finally
divorced
him
.
She
still
saw
Arnold
,
however
.
She
took
coffee
to
the
office
at
10
:
30
every
morning
for
the
staff
and
Arnold
put
her
on
the
payroll
.
Which
enabled
her
to
keep
the
house
.
She
and
Arnold
had
dinner
there
now
and
then
,
but
no
sex
.
Still
,
he
needed
her
,
she
felt
protective
towards
him
.
Katherine
also
believed
in
health
foods
and
the
only
meat
she
ate
was
chicken
and
fish
.
She
was
a
beautiful
woman
.
Within
a
day
or
two
,
about
1
pm
in
the
afternoon
there
was
a
knock
at
my
door
.
It
was
a
painter
,
Monty
Riff
,
or
so
he
informed
me
.
He
also
told
me
that
I
used
to
get
drunk
with
him
when
I
lived
on
DeLongpre
Avenue
.
"
I
don
’
t
remember
you
,
"
I
said
.
