Roger is questioning Elsie, the Plaza housekeeper.\u00a0<\/p>

“And that’s the first time you’ve laid eyes on me?” asks Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

“Can I help it if you’re never around, Mister Kaplan?” replies Elsie.\u00a0<\/p>

“Well, then how do you know I’m Mister Kaplan?” asks Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

“What?” asks Elsie.<\/p>

“How do you know I’m Mister Kaplan?” repeats Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

“Well, of course you are!” says Elsie. “This is Room 796, isn’t it?”<\/p>

“Mm-hmm,” says Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

“So, you’re the gentleman in Room 796, aren’t you?” explains Elsie.\u00a0<\/p>

“Mmm,” says Roger. “Alright, Elsie. Thanks.”<\/p>

“Will that be all, sir?” asks Elsie.<\/p>

“Uh, for the time being, yes,” replies Roger. The doorbell buzzes. Roger looks at Elsie, and then opens the door.\u00a0<\/p>

“Valet,” says a man in a Plaza uniform.\u00a0<\/p>

“Oh yes, come in,” says Roger. Elsie leaves as the valet steps inside the room.<\/p>

“Should I hang it in the closet, Mister Kaplan?” asks the valet.\u00a0<\/p>

“Yes, please,” replies Roger.\u00a0 The valet walks toward a closet.\u00a0<\/p>

“Tell me,” says Roger, “uh, I’ve forgotten – – what time did I give you that suit?”<\/p>

“Last night, around, uh, around six,” replies the valet.<\/p>

“Oh,” says Roger, “did I give it to you personally?”<\/p>

“Personally?” says the valet, “No, Mr. Kaplan – – you called down on the, on the phone, and described the suit to me and said it would be hanging in your closet. Like you always do! Anything wrong?”\u00a0<\/p>

“No, no – – just curious,” replies Roger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
