Cast a Yellow Shadow
“We went over some invoices and Padillo made a couple of suggestions that would probably save us a thousand or so a year. We called in Herr Horst and talked about a waiter who kept forgetting to come to work.
“I believe he drinks,” Herr Horst said, and added: “Secretly.”
“It’s not much of a secret if you know about it,” Padillo said.
“He’s a good waiter,” I said. “Give him one more chance, but tell him that’s just what it is.”
“It won’t do any good,” Padillo said.
“It makes me feel like a humani...tarian.”
“I shall speak to him,” Herr Horst said. “Again.”
We discussed the week’s menu, decided to give a new wholesale produce dealer a try, went over the merits of two employee health and hospital insurance programs and decided on one, and agreed to run some small space advertisements in a concert program. It was more work than I had done in a week.
Herr Horst left and sent us in some coffee by a busboy. Pa-dillo sat behind the desk of the office; I sat on the couch.MoreLess
