He came in without a word. I was stropping my best
razor. And when I recognized him, I started to shake.
But he did not notice. To cover my nervousness, I went
on honing the razor. I tried the edge with the tip of my
thumb and took another look at it against the light.
Meanwhile he was taking off his cartridge-studded belt
with the pistol holster suspended from it. He put it on a
hook in the wardrobe and hung his cap above it. Then
he turned full around toward me and, loosening his tie,
remarked, "It's hot as the devil, I want a shave." With
that he took his seat.
