For an hour, each night, she would lock herself in her room, change into a black negligee, write her fears in a journal by the light of a candle, and often find her thoughts discombobulated by the sound of his voice. "Gabriele," he whined one night behind the door. She ignored him in the hope he would go away.
But that was she, the everlasting, wonder of a woman who did all things well. "She fascinated every betrousered human around her. She had me and I don't mind confessing it she bad me to heel along with the rest. Young puppies and old gray dogs who ought to have known better oh, they all came up and crawled around her skirts and whined and fawned when she whistled.

"Then your boy should know better.
