Holding his hat against his chest and Tartufo's leash with one hand, he knocked on the office door with the other. ![]() Having a shine on his shoes was an Old World point of pride. With his handkerchief, he wiped first his forehead and then his shoes. He stood on the bottom of the three steps leading to the office door and flicked the dust from his hat and, as much as he could, from Tartufo's paws. Not until he was standing in front of the camp office did Uncle remove his Borsalino or put a leash on Tartufo.

She looks like a naughty teacher ready to give out a spanking, and I swallow hard because I’m definitely not looking for one. ![]() Her large red-rimmed glasses sit on the edge of her nose. I’d swear I was in a law office and not a place for call girls and strippers. ![]() This place is nothing like I thought it was going to be. It’s the first time she’s bothered to look at me since another woman led me into her pristine office. She turns her head away from her computer screen to finally look my way.
