Somewhat later, he and I left another social occasion where Florence was present, and Mordecai said, “She’s mine. I want her.” “Mordecai, she’s married, you’re married. Are you crazy?” “I don’t care. I want her and I’m going to take her.” When both their marriages ruptured, Florence let him do so, and she came into my life as well – the best friend one could ask for.
