I think I always took Foley's "Faithful Robert" as a kind of simultaneous jab at Anquetil and at himself--foolish Robert for remaining faithful to himself, who in his various faithlessnesses (that can't be a word) doesn't deserve it. Or, to rephrase myself, Foley's essential amorality finds Anquetil's loyalty impossible to comprehend, particularly because he sees nothing in himself to demand such loyalty. (Although I don't think he spends any time agonizing over this lack, anything but.)
