Jitterbug
“It was the most ornate thing in a small room with celery-colored walls, prints clipped from magazines and mounted in cheap Bakelite frames, and secondhand furniture, albeit clean and decked out with homemade slipcovers and Elizabeth’s unfussy doilies pinned to the worn spots. Dwight wondered how many payments were left on the radio and if any Earl made had come from the couple’s savings.
Earl was sprawled on the studio couch in peg tops and a sleeveless undershirt, with blue-and-yellow argyles ...on his long bony feet. A forest of Pfeiffer bottles had sprung up on the Sears & Roebuck coffee table, polished to a high gloss by Elizabeth and protected by a crocheted mat with silver thread. An open bag of New Era potato chips squatted on the floor in a litter of crumbs and pieces.
On the radio, Pete Gray, one-armed outfielder with the St. Louis Browns, hit a long foul off Dizzy Trout, a 4-F pitcher with Detroit. If the war went on another year they’d be using blind shortstops. Steve O’Neill called for a time-out and went out to talk to his flat-footed hurler.MoreLess
