I'm not sure they are all that innocent. I think their mention of having been in Don's wallet will come back later.

Oh Lord, I just had interesting visions of them showing up in the NY 'burbs

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think I saw that in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show. There was wackiness.

But maybe they just have more money than sense.
I'm still trying to decode some of the stuff dealing with that. Don asked at dinner if they were well-off and got silence. That could either mean they refused to answer because it was considered a crass question or they didn't have a good answer because they're all a big pile of mooches. But then Joy said they move around for tax purposes. I haven't figured that one out yet, doubt I will as my knowledge of tax law is nil.

BTW, how much do I love buffistas that so many of us were appalled that Don defaced the Faulkner novel.
Then hours later, there is a discussion about how the final page of the novel isn't exactly revelatory, so it didn't matter anyway.
Gotta love it.

I thought that it was because it was a crass question. One of the women made a disgusted sound when he asked.

That's not the point! If you haven't read the book, you don't know! Principle!

There's a really cool book about the swinging sixties in London titled Ready Steady Go with detailed backstories on all the players in Soho and Chelsea. This is back when Terrence Stamp and Michael Caine were the to It Boys of London and pulled more birds than Gene Simmons or Wilt Chamberlain could ever imagine.
Also marked because it looks fab-- and young Terrence Stamp... le sigh

I missed that, even with a second watching. Ah, well. I wonder if we're going to see more of them or if they've served their purpose.

and young Terrence Stamp... le sigh
I'm afraid my experience with young Terrence Stamp is solely as Billy Budd, which means less le sigh and more zzzzzzzz thanks to Melville's ability to bring the Platonic ideal of boredom forth into the real world.

Vortex, I agree! :-)
That's why I love you people. Hard to find people who give a damn about books consistently and/or know them.
