“What the hell do you think you’re doing, sneaking around with Babs?” he demanded.
Jim was justifiably intimidated and sought to mollify George. “I didn’t set out to get your girl — it just turned out that way.” Stalling for time, he added hopefully, “It isn’t as if she wasn’t dating anybody else but you.”
“I can’t believe my own brother would pull that stuff on me,” George persisted.
“You’re right,” Jim said honestly. “It was a devious thing to do, and for that I’m sorry.”
“You should be,” George expostulated.
