"For what it's worth, I was just a underdeveloped  boy stricken by curiosity.  It was her, and only her that made me a unworthy, intelligible, man. For that I'm grateful, for the smell of her will always remind me of the cold metal of the tilt-a-whirl and dirty blonde hair.  Her pea coat, so simple, yet she made it look so elegant.
