"No, hardly ever," he said. We made the change at Jamaica and he helped us with our bag. "As soon as the contract is signed," he said, "we can give you an advance." We tried to see if he had any initials on his shirt. But he didn't. "You don't have any initials on your shirt?" we asked.

"I usually do, but not on this short-sleeved one." We didn't say much more until we got to Penn Station. Then he shook our hand vigorously. "Please call me tomorrow and we'll go over the details."
