Fletch's Fortune
““Just putting on my hat.”
“Why do you need a hat? We’re not leaving the building.”
“If your hair were as thin as mine, Nettie.…”
“I’d never leave the house,” Nettie Horn said. “You feel you must have a trademark, Leona. As if anybody cared.”
“I like wearing a hat.”
“With your vanity, I just don’t understand how you let yourself get so drunk.”
“What do you mean?”
“You didn’t make it to dinner last night, Leona.”
“You did?”
“I did.”
“And what happened to you after dinner, Nettie?”
“I’m not perfec...tly sure. I seem to remember singing around a piano.…”
“Nettie, I put myself to bed in a proper manner last night. I even folded my clothes and removed my corset and got under the covers. In fact, I totally unraveled my corset. That took great concentration and deliberation—although why I felt I had to do it, I don’t know. Had a dickens of a time putting it all together again this morning. Where did you sleep last night?”
“I woke up in a chair in my room.”MoreLess
