The Real Skinny: "Aside from his snobbishness, he was easy to get along with"

The real skinny (according to Boy): I think Evie was right about Fred—the thing that I remember best about him was that he was often in the way. Aside from his snobbishness, he was easy to get along with. I doubt that we ever had a cross word. But he did tend to annoy me with his bantering. And when Evie came to visit, he was a little too nosey. Quite possibly he and I might have become better friends (or just more friendly) had I not become so obsessed with Evie. I thought of nothing else. He probably grew a little tired of hearing about her, especially when he did not have a girlfriend.
