Embroidered Truths
“Betsy gave him the key to her upstairs apartment, and he went away, to return about forty minutes later wearing manufacturer-faded blue jeans and a pastel-plaid shirt in yellow, green, and blue.

Since those were at home, where he was forbidden entrance, he wore none.
“I sometimes have trouble with leather on my feet, too,” he said, “so I washed my s...ocks out and used your hair dryer to reduce them to merely damp,” he said. “They’ll probably be dry enough to wear right after lunch.” He raised both hands. “Not that I’ll be going out to lunch,” he said hastily. “But if you could bring me back something when you go out, I’d appreciate it. All I had for breakfast was a pair of Tic Tacs.”
“I’m planning on going next door to the deli,” said Betsy. “Let me know what you want. My treat, of course.”
