Nero Wolfe is in disguise; Lily Rowan, Archie's sort-of girlfriend, has realized it, mostly because Archie's love for him issopure:
She shook her head. "Turn loose, my brave fellow. I've got hold of it." She moved to Wolfe, looking down at him. "Don't be upset, Pete. I wouldn't have known you from Adam, no one would; that wasn't it. It's my hero here. Archie's an awful prude. He has been up against some tough ones, lots of them, and not once has he ever called on me to help. Never! A proud prude. Suddenly he calls me away from revelry--I might have been reveling for all he knew--to get into a car and be intimate with a stranger. There's only one person on earth he would do that for: you."
