以前Maxが食事とダンスを一緒にした銀行員のMiss FujiiとMaxの会社のYoung Foreigner、そして同じくMaxの会社で働く Miss Inoue がいわゆる三角関係になり、Miss FujiiはMaxの会社に怒鳴り込んで来たこともあるのですが、
In a way, the story has a happy ending. The Young Foreigner and the innocent Miss Inoue eventually married, Miss Fuii pined for a week or two, but has since been seen around the Roppongi "in" places with another foreigner whose "spirit" is no doubt "good."
"pined" はふさぎ込んだとの意味でしょうか？
・Macmillan Dictionary: pine or pine away to feel very sad because you cannot be with someone who you love
・Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: to yearn intensely and persistently especially for something unattainable (they still pined for their lost wealth)
・Cambridge Dictionaries Online: to become increasingly thin and weak because of unhappiness, especially after the death of a loved person: Carter died in 1904 after an accident and Leno pined away and died in London six months later.
"pine" に何故こんな意味があるのか不思議に思えたのでOnline Etymologyを見ると：
O.E. pinian "torture, torment, afflict, cause to suffer," from *pine " pain, torture, punishment," possibly ult. from L. poena "punishment, penalty," from Gk. poine (see penal). A Latin word that rode into Germanic (cf. M.Du. pinen, O.H.G. pinon, O.N. pina) with Christianity. Intransitive sense of "to languish, waste away" is first recorded mid-15c. Related: Pined; pining..
とあり、 "pain" と関係があると分かると納得です。
