That morning as he left the bus, he absent-mindedly picked up the umbrella belonging to Mar- garet Whitt, who sat beside him. She cried Stop thiefll, rescued her umbrella and covered Jimmie with shame and confusion, That same day he stopped at the repairer's to get his umbrellas before getting on the bus. As he entered the bus, with the umbrellas tucked under his arm, he was horrified to behold glaring at him Margaret Whitt. Her voice came to him, charged with withering scorn: Huhl Had a good day, didn't you? The waitress watched as Jerry Guynn put eight spoonfuls of sugar into his cup of coffee, and proceeded to drink it without stirring it first. Why don't you stir it, she asked. Jerry regarded her coldly and said, Who likes it sweet? Betty Miller asked the information operator: l'd like the telephone number of Stanislaus V.
