DARRELL--

This Marsden doesn't like me ... that's evident ... but he interests me ... read his books ... wanted to know his bearing on Nina's case ... his novels just well-written surface ... no depth, no digging underneath ... why? ... has the talent but doesn't dare ... afraid he'll meet himself somewhere ... one of those poor devils who spend their lives trying not to discover which sex they belong to! ...

MARSDEN--

Giving me the fishy, diagnosing eye they practice at medical school ... like freshmen from Ioway cultivating broad A's at Harvard! ... what is his specialty? ... neurologist, I think ... I hope not psychoanalyst ... a lot to account for, Herr Freud! ... punishment to fit his crimes, be forced to listen eternally during breakfast while innumerable plain ones tell him dreams
