Two Holts:  A Steele Halloween


“No.  I’m not wearing breeches and hose.”

“Please, Remington?’

“Not even for you, Laura.”

“But you’ll be gorgeous as Mr. Darcy, and I can be Elizabeth Bennett.”

“No.  Not ever.  Pick anyone else, ah, post-Regency England.  What about Sherlock Holmes?”

“You did that already, and I’m not dressing like a rabbit again.”

“Then pick something else.”  

“What about a disco king and queen?”

“Me?  In spandex and platform shoes?  Laura!  What have you been tippling lately?”  

“Then I suppose you’ll have to wear this.”

“A fedora and a trenchcoat?  What are you wear--oh, my, my, my.  Do you know how much you
look like Ingrid Bergman just now?  

“I know, Rick.  Come, buy me a drink and we’ll dance until dawn.”

“ ‘Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she has to walk into mine.’  All right, Miss
Lund.  Let’s go see Paris.”
