Start: Well, don’t you let that get bandied about. The old man wouldn’t like it. Martha’s father expects loyalty and devotion out of his…staff. I was going to use another word.

[... … …]

End: There are rumors…which you must not breathe in front of Martha, for she foams at the mouth… that the old man, her father, is over two hundred years old. There is probably an irony involved in this, but I am not drunk enough to figure out what it is. How many kids you going to have?
