She said, "I always liked this jacket except that it does this�" and she pointed to my shoulder where the fabric was riding up. I said, "Oh that's just because of how I'm standing," and I straightened myself a bit so it would sit right. She started neatening my lapels, brushing off my shoulders, etc etc, and then she said, "You know," taking ahold of the fabric of the left jacket pocket, "Next time you go out you should have a card, right here." What for? I asked. "To tell people you'll see anyone, at any time." I realized she was talking about a calling card, a social convention from before my time.
