The immense tenderness of the place sank into Babbitt, and he murmured, "I'd just like to sit here the rest of my life and whittle and sit. And never hear a typewriter. Or Stan Graff fussing in the 'phone. Or Rone and Ted scrapping. Just sit. Gosh!" He patted Paul's shoulder. "How does it strike you, old snoozer?" "Oh, it's darn good, Georgie.
