Although the bit that immediately comes next - Archie saying to Saul "If he requests anything grotesque, consult me." - is also kind of weird.

Heh! Yeah. I also love the proprietary nature of it...very spousal, very casually inhabiting that role of the closest-of-the-close, "Hey, if he gets weird, doublecheck with me first." And Saul doesn't bat an eye at it.

I suppose it was me that sat and recited Hungarian poetry to her., which is classic I'm Not At All Jealous! What? Archie. :)

So true! Archie had played the "Don't make me leave you for a woman!" card, but Wolfe trumps him with the poetry and the humming and the breakfast in his room. They are so cute when they play out their relationship dynamics through tugs-of-war. :D
