Houndstooth
Bernard checks the advice on the website again:
1. Get close, but not too close. If the person sits and you stand, avoid having your crotch near their face.
2. Try to catch the person’s eye, but don’t stare, as this might make them nervous or even scared.
3. Start a conversation; ask a question requiring more than a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. Be prepared to repeat yourself.
8.02. The bus arrives in ten minutes. He prays she will be on it. In front of the hall mirror he adjusts his new houndstooth newsboy cap. It hides his monks’ crown.
