In reality, he was going to see one of his Conservatoire friends, a large, lanky dowdy, as swarthy as a mole and full of pretensions, who was destined for the tragic line of character, and inflicted upon her lover Athalie's dream, Camille's imprecations, and Phedre's monologue.
"I believe," he said as much to himself as to her, "that I'll have to have a word with old man Packard." She stared at him incredulously. Then she put her head back and laughed in high amusement. "Nobody'd miss guessing that you had your nerve with you, Mr. Lanky Stranger," she cried mirthfully.
They’d all lie their heads off to git a trooper into trouble. Wouldn’t you now?" The lanky man sidled along the bar to snarl at Fowler.

Find what you want, ma'am." Louise was frankly spying. She saw that the customer was a lanky young woman in a sunbonnet.
