Men will most definitely be worked in...

And so will male dogs.  That reminds me of another reason it would be
better here.  Bernardykins has little travel experience and might get
confused about his parts in the ceremony if in a strange and distant
place.  He does, however, hope that Torkel will come.  He figured out
a long time ago that he likes Torkel's attitudes.

The book is _The Graphic File Toolkit_ by Steve Rimmer(Addison-Wesley
Publ. Co.) at $29.95.  The disk with it has Graphic Workshop, Desktop
Paint, Desktop Paint256, and GrafCat.  The Desktop Paint programs are
like Windows Paint program, I think.  The GrafCat is a program to
print out all your .wpg graphics in little boxes twelve to a page,
to "catalog" them.  The Graphic Workshop is the one that transforms
the different types of graphics from one form to the other, and
you can doctor them as you do it.
I don't have uudecode, or if I do I don't know it and havent used it.

Perhaps the baseball analogy shouldn't be carried to the extent of
interpreting Robicheaux's action as an invitation to the other party
to hit a home run.  Perhaps it is no more than an invitation to take
a swing at what appears to be a home-run ball.  All the while, the
pitcher knows that pitch more often results in a line drive back
to the mound and a quick out.  Stretching some, I guess, but the
point is it might be seen as an invitation to take a swing at an
easy target rather than an invitation to hit a home run.

  Thanks, but fortunately I don't need to know this since I will certainly
not keep one word of this baseball babbling in the translation. It's quite
meaningless in this country. I'm just wondering about the psychology of the
metaphor, which I will need to either respect or adjust. You remark

      >A 'fat' pitch is indeed an easy (to hit) pitch.  The implication *is*
      >very much the same as 'hit me with your best shot.'  While there's
      >little for the pitcher to do after the ball is hit, unless it's hit
      >back at him, he's still 'responsible' for that hit.  So it's the
      >pitcher's <ego> or <self-respect> that's being belted.

  This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Why should a man's
self-respect require that he sometimes allow his ego or self-respect
to be belted (without him getting to hit back)?  Furthermore,
Robicheaux's intention is by no means to stand quietly and allow
himself to be belted, but on the contrary to provoke the bad guy until
he swings at Robicheaux, whereupon Robicheaux gets to hit him very
hard several times and break his nose and make him bleed.

The self-respect part comes in when you do what you should because
it's what is expected of you.  This part of the book stuck in my head,
unlike many other parts. because I felt the baseball analogy was weird,
and this is the only way I could get it to fit.   You know... "A man's

But perhaps as you suggest in Japanese, this is a woman's interpretation
of guy-stuff.
