Bent on one last fleshly fling, Flora decides to seduce Chris...
Last week at Manhattan's Blue Angel, she cast timid eyes at the ceiling as if Major Bowes's cane were about to rip down from the attic. She squirmed onto a stool and let her coltish legs dangle, ankles napping. She twisted bony fingers through her hair and blessed her audience with a tired smile. Then she sang-and at the first note, her voice erased all the gawkiness of her presence onstage...
