- Once when Alajálov was visiting on Nantucket, the party-line phone rang two and he, being alone at the moment, picked up the receiver and found that a young man was making romantic statements to a young woman. After eavesdropping for half an hour, the artist decided maybe he was eavesdropping, and hung up. Soon the phone again rang two, and Alajálov found that it was the same girl and a different man, but the girl never once mentioned that she was being told the same sweet things she had just heard before. After a third different man had gone through the works, Alajálov was in love with Miss Ring Two himself. So then did a bachelor, marry the girl, and thus make us a swell story? He did nothing, the quitter, but paint a cover.
