Some egg other than Peter's was nesting on the open ledger spread out on the Receiving Teller's desk not an ostrich egg of a head at all, but an evenly parted, well-combed, well-slicked brown wig, covering the careful pate of one of the other clerks who, in the goodness of his heart, was filling Peter's place for the day.
