tion or liking of totally foolish or even insane behavior (If something is "absurd," it is clearly ridiculous). He was arrested by the police for floating nude down the Seine, experimenting in river currents with rubber water wings. The Seine is the famous river that divides Paris, France. A "current" is a wave, or the direction that water moves. Mauve ones. "Mauve" is a color similar to purple. That cost quite a bit of influence et d’argent to hush up. Mrs. Chasen loves to show off her French, and thus the first underlined words mean "and money" in French. "To hush up" something is to try and keep it quiet so others don’t find out about it. Harold’s always been a very delicate child. In this case, "delicate" means fragile or easily hurt. He seemed totally prone to every possible kind of illness. If a person is "prone to" something, they are likely to be effected by it (In this case, Harold became easily sick as a child). I can’t stand much more of this. I can’t take it anymore. If a person "can’t stand" something, they hate it. If they "can’t take it," they can not accept or endure it, and thus try to avoid it. That’s very interesting, and I think illuminating.
