John Hoyt: Hewitt

Quotes 

• Nero Wolfe : Is that group of yours, the club with the absurd name, still in existence?

  Hewitt : The Ten for Aristology. Ah, yes.

  Nero Wolfe : Still devoted to the idea of perfection in food and drink?

  Hewitt : Yes indeed. And it is still my intention, now matter how often you refuse, to have Fritz cook for us one evening, with you and Archie in attendance.

  Nero Wolfe : Shall we say this Thursday, here, 8pm?

  Hewitt : [surprised]  Are you serious?

  Nero Wolfe : Let me suggest a favorite of mine: squab, marinated in light cream, rolled in flour, seasoned with salt, pepper, nutmeg, cloves...

  Hewitt : [the phone rings]  Oh, pardon me a minute.

  [Hewitt picks up the phone] 

  Hewitt : Hello? Ah, yes, yes, just a moment.

  [Hewitt sets the phone down] 

  Hewitt : For you. Sounds like Archie.

  Nero Wolfe : Thank you.

  [Wolfe picks up the phone] 

  Nero Wolfe : Yes? I think it's time for the cat to view the king.

  [Wolfe hangs up] 

  Hewitt : Anything wrong?

  Nero Wolfe : Nothing that will prevent Fritz from cooking for the 10 for Aristology on Thursday.

  Hewitt : The members will be thrilled. How can I ever repay you?

  Nero Wolfe : I was getting to that.
