Humbert

Of course I need a shave, because I've not shaved since yesterday morning and I'm a man who (needs) two shaves a day.

Lolita Hey, let's tell mother. Humbert Tell mother what? Lolita You know what. Humbert No, I don't think that would be very funny. Humbert Why does she [Michelle] give me these searching looks whenever she comes to the house? Lolita How should I know? Humbert Have you told her anything about us? Lolita No. Have you? Professor Humbert What drives me insane is the twofold nature of this nymphet, a veteran nymphet perhaps, this mixture in my Lolita of tender, dreamy childishness and a kind of eerie vulgarity. I know it is madness to keep this journal, but it gives me a strange thrill to do so. And only a loving wife could decipher my microscopic script.
