McEvoy comments on C. B.:
"Dreaming of burning a stack of Murdoch novels in front of him, in London,
England"
Oddly:

"He does not discuss his private life. In 1943
he and the economist Thomas Balogh effectively
swapped girlfriends, one the future novelist Iris Murdoch, the
other her close friend, Foot's first wife, the philosopher
Philippa Foot."
Oddlier still, Foot (Philippa) dedicates his book to Iris Murdoch, rather
than her husband!
