"Pin the sweetest man" is the title of this chapter's epigraph. It's a quote from Gulliver's Gulliver, which is translated as "The sweetest man in the world" . The quote is a reference to the 17th-century English poet, Henry V, who said that the world was full of "sweethearts" and "sweetmeats" , and that he was the "sweetest man in all the world." Translation: "I'm the sweetest man, but I'm also full of secrets." Gulliver asks a series of questions about the past, the present, and the future. He's not sure where to begin his questions, since he doesn't know what to begin with. He wants to know how he's survived in society for the past fifteen years, and how big he is now. Gulliver says that he can control how he looks, but he needs a "standard" - a standard that's been around for 15 years. For example, for the last 15 years, Gulliver has been the "best" vampire in the entire world. He has been watching him, touching him, and kissing him. Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that he'll have to "bury all of my heart in my heart" when he dies. This is a big deal, because it means that he won't be able to have any of his former relationships with other vampires. So, he decides, he will have to go back to his old life as a vampire.
