Bingo (2011)
“Arnie Dow brought his cat to work that morning because he would be taking her to the vet’s on his lunch hour. His wife worked up in Hanover, so she couldn’t do it. Louisa May, hale and hearty, needed her rabies shot. By the time I reached the composing room, ugly words had been exchanged and suspicious hair tufts were lodged in Pewter’s claws.
Arnie, a good-natured man, kept his temper about the cat argument. As I heaved Pewter’s ever-increasing bulk over my shoulder he wished me luck. Said he ...and the boys were rooting for me.
Staggering under the weight of Pewter, whom I considered renaming Godzilla, I ran into Ann Falkenroth. She rarely visited the paper, so seeing her was a pleasant surprise. Ann belonged to that generation of white women of a certain class who were trained to take care of a home, a man, and children, beautifully. The idea of working in the outside world was both frightening and repugnant. In fact, it was Ann Falkenroth née Lansburg who cut Spots Chalfonte to the bone back in 1932.MoreLess
