He learns that Kate Lehrer has written a novel about bigamy and he proceeds, in Dickinsonian fashion, to ease into a 20-minute dissertation on bigamy (and apparent bigamy) through the ages. He alludes to everyone from a contemporary politician to a British monarch to writers Dawn Powell and Anais Nin.
