Yes, Kat, Tony C. surprised me in a number of way

Yes, Kat, Tony C. surprised me in a number of ways. He wasn't of Italian blood, he said; he was of Nordisk descent, a small and viivacious fellow, fond of clog-dancing and madrigal singing. Before owning the Vette shop he'd studied string theory and Astral supersymmetry with Dr. Sylvester Gates, and then as a botanist discovered several African flowering plants of the GiSeKia genus. Or so he said. At times I was not sure he was telling the truth. "Well. Part of it is true," Tony said. "The truth is always Murky." He waved a jaunty goodbye, as his red car screeched out of the lot.
