Like Jake Barnes

 Like Jake Barnes I mistrust all frank and simple people, especially when their stories hold together, because I am immediately suspicious that they are hiding something. Even that Robert Cohn was never a middleweight boxing champion at Princeton. After all his bent nose could have come from a horse stepping on his face, or maybe he had bumped into something as a child, or possibly his mother had once dropped him as a child. Believe but always verify their stories.
