The trouble began at the time Earl Brady's car passed the Divers' car stopped on the road -- Abe's account melted impersonally into the thronged night -- Violet McKisco was telling Mrs. Abrams something she had found out about the Divers -- she had gone upstairs in their house and she had come upon something there which had made a great impression on her. But Tommy is a watch-dog about the Divers. As a matter of fact she is inspiring and formidable -- but it's a mutual thing, and the fact of The Divers together is more important to their friends than many of them realize. Of course it's done at a certain sacrifice -- sometimes they seem just rather charming figures in a ballet, and worth just the attention you give a ballet, but it's more than that -- you'd have to know the story. Anyhow Tommy is one of those men that Dick's passed along to Nicole and when Mrs. McKisco kept hinting at her story, he called them on it. He said: "Mrs. McKisco, please don't talk further about Mrs. Diver."
