...time Bond arrived, walking in on cat-lithe feet and wearing a vested blue suit. Just back from a trip politicking for George McGovern and about to leave on another. Bond made a relaxed beeline for the bar, greeting a friend or two as he passed with a Cheshire smile and a handshake. At the bar, he snared his drink like a swimmer taking a racing-turn in slow-motion and continued to make the rounds of the room.

"My son stood behind us with a big smile because he knew when we left the table that the Father had already heard the prayers." Mrs. Klug's locutions, be they from St. Joseph, St. Augustine, St. Anthony, St. Mary Magdalene or the Father himself, are not always pious anecdotes.
