I bought an afternoon paper and caught up on the latest news, comforted by the fact that I had borne witness to the real latest news wherein the Dodge...s had beaten the Yankees. I didn’t even wonder what Dennis, AKA Bill, was up to. At any rate, I found out soon enough.

She steered down the street, through someone's yard, down an alley and on toward the open.
