Yes, what have I to do with the electoral rivalries of Patty vs. Carmen? I am sure that your Italian Kathy, who was a close friend of Patty, knows plenty about that, so why are you bothering me? I don't involve myself in these internal high school matters of no concern to me. Why should I defend either one of them, merely because of some obscure novel about student body elections at Stanford University? I really could not care less about that.
