enjoy your coat

I sold a coat tonight, a greatcoat. It is huge and weighs a ton and is excellent.

Why I did it I am not sure, because it was a coat of the heaviest, warmest kind, the kind of coat you want when you're up against weather a little worse than you were expecting. And it looks sharp. It doubles as a blanket, and cold cannot penetrate it. I have had that coat so long I can't remember where it came from, and now, having not worn it in ages, have passed it along to a friend, who was looking for just such a garment.

I will still covet it when I see you wearing it, but it is going to good use, and that will have to get me by.
