Chapterette Three – French For Gat
I eased my body in the chair – not that it did my mind any good. But if I could get a bit of slack in the jacket I could slide my hand inside and reach my Colt. I never took to the body holster like the the dime novels. Every cheap gangster movie has…

Or ” How I learned to justify my hobby by pretending it was educational “. I am a hobbyist. At any one time I am deeply engaged in some expensive pursuit that does nothing whatever for the rest of mankind…but pleases me thoroughly. It has been model boats, ships, cars, old-fashioned firearms, dress-ups, studio photography…etc,…
