Fallen Angels
“We decided to stop at the little hot dog stand on the corner of Broadway and Sixth. I had sauerkraut and mustard on my dog to spite my mother, Ernie, Phil, and everyone else in the world who’d ever aggravated me. I don’t know what Lulu had on hers, but we sat on a bench in Pershing Square, listened to the street preachers rant, and my own personal lunch was very tasty.
Naturally, Lulu wanted to talk about my plans to buy Chloe’s house, so we discussed that. I wasn’t awfully interested in the to...pic, since I was more concerned about the case of Mrs. Chalmers’ murder, but I let Lulu rhapsodize. Although this is kind of embarrassing to admit, I think one of the main reasons I wanted to buy the Nash home was so that I could continue taking Angels Flight down to Broadway every day. But that sounds so trivial a reason to buy a house that every time I thought it, I was ashamed of myself. Imagine buying a house because of a tiny railroad line! I’d bet money, if I ever bet on anything, that poor people didn’t use inane reasoning like that when they set about to buy houses.MoreLess
