Clancy took extra time on his appearance this night. Oh, he always fussed and preened, but this night he took extra care because this night, he intended to woo a lady. A suit and tie were the right way to go, black suit, white shirt, crimson tie, and, of course, his jaunty fedora. He stuck a tiny green feather in the brim of his hat, picked up his cane, and strolled out. Yes, he looked like a gentleman out of a black and white movie, but there was a reason why some looks were classic!
Now, where should he go? Hmm, how about first to pick up some food, then to the library area. The library would be closing in half an hour. He should have just enough time to get there a few minutes after closing. He stopped by a rather fancy restaurant that did a nice takeaway spread, then he all but appeared at the corner of the library, basket hung over his arm.
