????????: I suppose I've got to tell you the truth: but under protest. It's like this. My sweetheart in Paris wrote to me saying she intended to marry her elderly admirer. I thought I should return and shoot her for her faithlessness, and the admirer because - well, he really is very elderly; it seemed to me it might be a kindness to him. I dressed as a woman because I hoped in that way to look less like an avenging lover thirsty for blood.
