[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 524297, member: 1122"] 'Well well well, droogie, what gives? Very very long time no viddy.' He said: 'It's little Alex, isn't it?' 'None other,' I said. 'A long long long time since those dead and gone good days. And now poor Georgie, they told me, is underground and old Dim is a brutal millicent, and here is thou and here is I, and what news hast thou, old droogie?' 'He talks funny, doesn't he?' said the devotchka, like giggling. 'This,' said Pete to the devotchka, 'is an old friend. His name is Alex. May I,' he said to me, 'introduce my wife?' My rot fell wide open then. 'Wife?' I like gasped. 'Wife wife wife? Ah no, that cannot be. Too young art thou to be married, old droog. Impossible impossible.' This devotchka who was like Pete's wife (impossible impossible) giggled again and said to Pete: 'Did you used to talk like that too?' 'Well,' said Pete, and he like smiled. 'I'm nearly twenty. Old enough to be hitched, and it's been two months already. You were very young and very forward, remember.' 'Well,' I like gaped still. 'Over this get can I not, old droogie. Pete married. Well well well.' 'We have a small flat,' said Pete. 'I am earning very small money at State Marine Insurance, but things will get better, that I know. And Georgina here-' 'What again is that name?' I said, rot still open like bezoomny. Pete's wife (wife, brothers) like giggled again. 'Georgina,' said Pete. 'Georgina works too. Typing, you know. We manage, we manage.' I could not, brothers, take my glazzies off him, really. He was like grown up now, with a grown-up goloss and all. 'You must,' said Pete, 'come and see us sometime.
