“His shirt, which he’d owned long before he’d developed the temporary madness that had led to his getting married, had turned thin. The elbows resembled muslin or, worse yet, spiderweb.
He was on his way to Wurzle’s lending library. He’d given up pretending that he was only after a book. He had a stack of G.
