He’s a little under 6 feet, slim, erect, well at least his posture anyway, preceding me in the early morning coffee line like a well-heeled West Point Cadet, getting his double latte and New York Times with daily precision.
He nods, rarely speaking, unless a day passes without me, then he’ll call across the room, “Where were you yesterday?”
“Working,” I’ll say, as he glides out the door.
I love how he dresses…his finely tailored suit pants with a crease that could carve ham…gray, more often navy blue, with a slim stripe winking, all beneath a muted green topcoat. No hat, just a scarf billowing like an aviator’s…shoes so polished they light him as he strolls.
He wears Ben Franklin glasses that sit on his long, patrician nose creating a boundary so not to see too deeply into big, brown basset hound eyes.
Is he handsome? Hmm, not really, yet there is something awfully natty about him, not to be confused with naughty, since he wears a wedding band the width of a halo.
Kinda throws his outfit off a bit making you wish, why can’t they just make one in tweed…:)

I especially love a well dressed man. It’s so out of style in these “casual” days but give me a nice suit and I’m happy.

Me too. It’s a nice sight to see. I guess it’s like a man appreciating a pretty girl. Sigh

I think there is something special about a guy in a well-tailored suit. Makes me want to know him. Rarely see anyone in a suit these days but there are the firemen in uniform I see almost every day. 🙂

Yes, there’s nothing like a man in uniform. Bet Teddy would look great in a suit…:)

Can’t deal with a man who dresses better than me. Too intimidating.

Then he leaves. No further discussion. He’s a little wooden, if you know what I mean, but boy, is he dapper.

I can see him in their catalog.
You know, in the den, a snifter in his hand.

Susannah, that’s so nice and ‘human’ that he not only takes note of your absences, but inquires into your whereabouts. The Thin Girl does not escape notice.

For all good it does. And we must remember it’s right when they open so, there’s just me and him quite often. I always let him go first because he’s in a hurry. Joan of Arc just with coffee…:)
