Unsolved Memory Lapse On Tremont Street Encounter

Memory misfires, names blur, and he struggles to identify old friends and relatives, while the conversational misdirections reveal the ubiquity of the surname Smith and the comic weariness of lost recollection.
Foolish Anger in a Foolish Fashion

Does He Love Me Or Is He Just A Pass Time
A reader asks if a two month romance with a man three years older truly signals love or if social dances reveal indifference. The reply notes that two months is brief for certainty and that expressions of love in private are common, while public attention to others can reflect social ease rather than diminished affection. It cautions jealousy and explains that even engaged men often seek agreeable company with other women.
