Sylvia and your grandfather were being so high-brow I was beginning to feel faint," Molly laughed flashingly. "Did Grandfather keep his end up? I bet he couldn't!" Arnold professed an entire ignorance of the relative status. "Oh, I fell off so far back I don't know who got in first. Who was this man Capua, anyhow?
