“I do have a phone in New York. One night—at one in the morning!—I was awakened by Miss Bette Davis, the actress, calling from California to tell me how much she admired something of mine. She had no idea that it was anything later than ten o’clock at night where I was. “I don’t mind that, but in March, just before I left, the phone rang and a voice said: ‘We are going to castrate you and then kill you.’ All I could say to that was: ‘I think you have the wrong number.’ I’m quite sure he did.…”

“And do you happen to know a four-letter word meaning ‘first name of Swoboda and Hunt’?” His guests supplies Rons. Auden asks: “What are they? Statesmen?” No, ballplayers. Auden moans over American crosswords; he prefers London’s Sunday puzzles and, besides, “the Americans are so inaccurate—for example, a five-letter word for ‘irreligious person’; answer: ‘pagan’! But if the pagans were anything, they were over-religious.”

“Any dialogue with Auden is a two-way street. He listens attentively and, sometimes much later, will take you up on something you said to him before. He anticipates what you were about to say and even mouths your lines, usually quite accurately, but he doesn’t speak them. If your punch line comes out all right—that is, the way he anticipated—his eyes flash an unspoken signal of well done! But when you cross him up, he either crinkles with delighted surprise or puckers with disappointment. Again, though, both reactions go unsaid.”
