wearing a faded cloth coat; would e in for dinner and Delores would trade one

of her tables for theirs。 The mousy little man would leave a picture of

Alexander Hamilton under his plate; bad enough for the girl who had made the

trade; but worse; Delores would crow over it。 She was lazy; a goof…off in an

operation run by a man who allowed no goof…offs。 She would sit in a linen

closet; reading a confession magazine and smoking; but whenever Ullman went on

one of his unscheduled prowls (and woe to the girl he caught resting her feet)
