Guessing at Felix
Guessing at Felix by Helen Fremont
I know you. You are going off with a guy named Felix. Felix is a nice enough guy, as things go these days. He is not the heroic type, thank goodness. He has his quirks, which one comes to appreciate after a few drinks. For one thing, he has almost nothing in the bank, except for a few 78 rpm’s in a safe deposit box. This is a man who preserves things for the sake of their shape. He is tall but not too tall. Something like six feet in slippers, which would be Florentine leather, the easy-on, easy-off type with no tread. This man does not expect to have to leap hurdles or sprint laps in the middle of the night. He is self-assured, but not absurdly so.
