Acting Substitute

Danny knows this much: Willie had a girl before the war, a gorgeous blonde with red lips and a bright smile (this is what Danny says, not Willie; some standards of beauty are the same the world over). She was killed last year when a building collapsed on top of her.

And Willie's been a long, long time in Europe, with no end of being in German camps in sight and no women nearby. The result is understandable.

Danny just hopes that someday Willie will see him as himself, rather than as a substitute for the girl buried in London.
