Goodreads asked Nick Baam:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Nick Baam Good question! Forty years ago I would have said Nick and Nora Charles, then I gradually realized both were lushes. (And his calling her "Mommy" really grates.) I would have gone w Travis McGee and anyone else -- but there never was anyone else. (Travis McGee and Busted Flush?)

So... I'll go with... ... ... George and Ann Smiley. (The great line at the end of the BBC Tinker, Tailor: "Poor, George. Life is such a puzzle to you, isn't it?")

(And Oliver Lacon dryly noted that George would have run Ann much better had she been his “agent instead of [his] wife."
