[Henry, October 3, 2017.]
Henrietta is not pleased. Muriel probably wouldn’t be pleased either. If Henrietta and Muriel decide that Henry isn’t worth fighting over, they could argue about which girl’s name is more remote for early-twenty-first-century readers.

If so, and if Henry (whose own name remains popular for early-twenty-first-century newborns) could sing, he might offer these words: “Muriel, since you left town, the clubs closed down, and there’s one more burned-out lamppost on Main Street, down where we used to stroll.” But he can’t.
