with the green, store-bought
suit comes in.
Angus looks up, and when he
sees the slicker's mustache, he
grunts through a mouthful Of
fried onions. The slicker takes
one look at Adoreen and his
eyes 60 kind of pop-eyed and
he staggers over to the counter.
AS any one can tell you, Adoreen
is just about the trimmest little
mouse on either side of the
Mississippi.
She comes only about so high
and her brown eyes are always
dancing around as II whatever
she's doing Is just about the
incest thing in the world to be
doing. Her black hair starts
out straight at the top of her
head, but il begins curling just
over her ears and from there
on you lose track of it. Which
Is not all you lose track of
when you get waited on by
Adoreen.
Well. this slick individual
just eases himself into a stool
while Adoreen losses some sill
yer and a napkin in front of
him, and Angus is getting very
red and starts to cut his mash
ed potatoes as If they are one
of Herbie's tough steaks.

Adoreen just hands this guy
a menu and stays poker-face.

getting close to Caleb-just 80
miles down this road-and my
name isn't Lamar, it's Mick
letwidge-A d Green Micklet-
widge."
The stranger can't take his
eyes off her, which is a trouble
lots of people. who come into
Herbie's Curbside Cafe seem to
get. "Mickletwidge," he says,
like he is praying it. "Adoreen
Mickletwidge what a de-
lightful name. But tell me,
Miss-er-Adoreen, if this isn't
Hollywood, what are you do
ing so far away?"
1.-THE pigs knuckles are on

"Or why aren't you in New
York where they are crying for
beauty like yours?"
would you like some clam
chowder first?"
That face your eyes

you-wasted in a roadside inn;
your talent buried under pigs
knuckles and clam chowder."

interest in his liver. The back

like q furnace. That is no kind
