I’ve just started reading “To Love and Be Wise” by Josephine Tey for the second or third time. Living alone, without television, I find that I re-read the books I love. The protagonist is Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. In the first chapter, he’s going to a party, at the request of his friend, Marta Hallard, an actress. Their friendship began because of her need for an occasional escort and his need for a sometime informant in the world of the theater. It grew, because they found that they enjoyed each other’s company.
I’m not a glamorous actress, but I certainly would enjoy having a male friend like that, another happy singleton, who’d like to get together for dinner, a movie, or a day trip every now and then.
