"But you enjoy
marc jacobs sunglasses sale, don't you?" Black said finally.
"I guess so," he said.
"How about teaching me?" Black said, with tension.

Ragle laughed.
"I mean just so I can pick up a few bucks now and then. For instance, I'd like to build a retaining wall in the back, so in the winter that wet dirt doesn't keep slopping down into our yard. It would cost me about sixty dollars for the
materials. Suppose I won -- how many times? Four times?"
"Four times," Ragle said. "You'd get a flat twenty bucks. And your name would go on the board. You'd be competing."
Vic spoke up. "Competing with the Charles Van Doren of the newspaper contests."
"I consider that a compliment," Ragle said. But the enmity made him uncomfortable.
The lasagne did not last long. They all dipped into it. Because of Bill Black's and Ragle's remarks, Vic felt impelled to eat as much as possible. His wife watched him critically as he finished.

women, especially those who giggled, and, like Junie, who insisted on pressing against other women's husbands on the strength of a single gulp of sherry.
It was his brother-in-law who responded to Junie Black, according to Margo's gossip. Both Ragle and Junie, being home all day, had plenty of free time on their hands. That was a bad business, Margo said now and again. A man
being home all day in a residential neighborhood, where all the other husbands were away at the office and only the wives remained behind. So to speak.
Bill Black said, "To confess, Margo -- she didn't whip this stuff up. We got it on the way home. At some catering place on Plum Street."
