The Knife Slipped

Recommended—Entertaining. Quick read. Really liked the character of Bertha Cool.

I'm craving a big slice of vanilla cake with lots of frosting now. And hotcakes with five pats of butter, and syrup. And coffee with cream—not that watered-down half-and-half, but thick, yellow, whipping cream. And cigarettes. Lots and lots of deep inhales of relaxing cigarettes.

It wasn't very memorable, but great entertainment. Loved this snapshot of 1939.
