"That seemed to handle it. That was it. Send a girl off with one man. Introduce her to another to go off with him. Now go and bring her back. And sign the wire with love. That was all right." -pg. 243
After all of his trying to get over Brett, trying to move on because she will never settle for him, he gets a telegram from him. In the end, he is the only one she knows for sure will come to her rescue. His love is not just for her looks, like Michael, or for infatuation, like Cohn, but is actual feelings. She has walked all over him, paraded other men in front of him, and yet he still goes back. I guess I never understood why she was so hesitant to be with him when he obviously loved her. Even he knew that his feelings were ridiculous, but he could do nothing about them. She had him on a short leash, but he didn't seem to mind. That is a dangerous place to be, because she will keep him there as long as he allows it.
