He
seemed
embarrassed
,
apologetic
,
almost
shy
.
"
A
guy
does
funny
things
,
"
he
said
.
I
overcame
an
impulse
to
say
,
It
takes
all
kinds
—
and
I
’
m
glad
I
did
because
his
next
words
were
,
"
In
my
business
you
meet
all
kinds
.
I
walked
behind
the
counter
and
kicked
the
leather
Knight
Templar
hatbox
closed
.
And
I
leaned
my
elbows
on
the
counter
.
Very
odd
.
Five
minutes
earlier
I
saw
myself
through
the
eyes
of
other
people
.
I
had
to
.
What
they
saw
was
important
.
And
as
he
came
across
the
pavement
,
this
man
had
been
a
huge
,
dark
,
hopeless
fate
,
an
enemy
,
an
ogre
.
But
with
my
project
tucked
away
and
gone
as
a
part
of
me
,
I
saw
him
now
as
an
object
apart
—
no
longer
linked
with
me
for
good
or
bad
.
He
was
,
I
think
,
about
my
age
,
but
shaped
in
a
school
,
a
manner
,
perhaps
a
cult
—
a
lean
face
and
hair
carefully
trimmed
short
and
standing
straight
up
,
white
shirt
of
a
coarse
woven
linen
with
the
collar
buttoned
down
and
a
tie
chosen
by
his
wife
,
and
without
doubt
patted
and
straightened
by
her
as
he
left
the
house
.
His
suit
a
gray
darkness
and
his
nails
home
cared
for
but
well
cared
for
,
a
wide
gold
wedding
ring
on
his
left
hand
,
a
tiny
bar
in
his
buttonhole
,
a
suggestion
of
the
decoration
he
would
not
wear
.
His
mouth
and
dark
blue
eyes
were
schooled
to
firmness
,
which
made
it
all
the
more
strange
that
they
were
not
firm
now
.
In
some
way
a
hole
had
been
opened
in
him
.
He
was
not
the
same
man
whose
questions
had
been
short
,
squared
bars
of
steel
spaced
perfectly
,
one
below
its
fellow
.
"
You
were
here
before
,
"
I
said
.
"
What
is
your
business
?
"
"
Department
of
Justice
.
"
"
Your
business
is
justice
?
"
He
smiled
.
"
Yes
,
at
least
that
’
s
what
I
hope
.
But
I
’
m
not
on
official
business
—
not
even
sure
the
department
would
approve
.
But
it
’
s
my
day
off
.
"
"
What
can
I
do
for
you
?
"
"
It
’
s
kind
of
complicated
.
Don
’
t
know
quite
where
to
begin
.
It
’
s
not
in
the
book
.
Hawley
,
I
’
ve
been
in
the
service
twelve
years
and
I
’
ve
never
had
anything
like
this
before
.
