The Cutie
“It took a long while to get to the right neighborhood, and an even longer while to find his house. I asked directions a few times, but nobody knew anything. I finally got a sensible answer from a kid playing with a top. He told me how to get to Mr. Tesselman’s house, and he was right.
The house, when I eventually did get to see it, was at one and the same time both impressive and a little awkward. You looked at it, and you knew the people inside had money. But you also knew they didn’t have muc...h taste.
The house was set back from the road, hidden by rigidly pruned hedges and heavily leafed trees. A blacktop drive curved in a U-shape up to the front door of the house and back to the ornamental stone gate posts at the entrance from the road. The house itself was red brick, two stories high, and had four white columns marching across the front. The front door was white, with a phony brass knocker centered on it. Ernest Tesselman’s land fell away on all sides, dotted with trees and bushes and hedges.MoreLess
