  Aunt Mimi : Then she works. Mabel can dance. I've been teachin' her steps ever since she was a little nipper.

  Aloysius K. Reilly : Well, so what. He can't deny it without making a sap out of himself.

• Aloysius K. Reilly : Think of the publicity value. Oh, I can see it now, just as plain as if it were in print: Larry Cain the Battling Adonis of the Squared Circle.
