Notes
Full caption: "And then they started talking loud again. My mother said, 'It's time we had a showdown, Mr. Wolf-of-the-Stenographers'-Pool, and with Ellen off to camp in the morning, now's the time to do it. If you think I'm going to spend another summer in this muggy exurbanite hole while you high-tail it off to town every morning to prowl around your office harem and live it up on your fancy air-conditioned expense account, you've got another thing coming...."
