Margit is not a bit like Charlie. In her well-appointed home all menus are typewritten. Eggs are boiled in electrical gadgets to insure correct timing, the gardener waters the lawn when the paper says the weather will be good, even if he has to do it in the pouring rain. Margit runs a gown-shop and the lives of everyone around her. She only makes a deal with Charlie Lodge to keep him from splitting, caddishly, Irene and Waldo.
