Michael Shayne's Long Chance
“He went in and slumped into the nearest chair. When one of them hurried to him with a patronizing smile, he said, “I want everything you’ve got except conversation.”
“Shave and haircut? Shampoo?” the man asked.
Shayne moved his head affirmatively. “And hot and cold packs behind my right ear.”
An hour later he pulled himself reluctantly from the comfortable barber chair. A Negro boy who was sweeping dropped his broom and hurried toward him with a clothes brush as Shayne put on his co...at.
“Do the best job you can,” Shayne admonished.
“You bet,” the boy said, and went to work.
Shayne looked at a square piece of paper which the barber handed him. He took out a bill, and when the young Negro finished, Shayne put the money and the ticket in his hand and said, “Pay the bill and keep the change.”
