Not in that tone.'Loafers paled, his life flashing before him.'I'm sorry, Miss Frazetti. It's just the short thing. I've been listening to it my whole life.''What do you want people to call you? Lofty? You're short, Loafers. Get over it. That's whatgives you your edge. My godfather always says there's nothing more dangerous than a short guywith something to prove. That's why you've got a job.
