The Drug Salesman's Imaginary Wife

Years ago we had this drug salesman what lived in New Orleans and what come to Harper 'bout ever month. He were real popular with all the town folks and ate at Dorothy's Cafe ever time he were here. All he talked 'bout were his wife, Honey. Honey this and Honey that. She were a nurse he said. She were writing a book about sick children in the poor areas of the city. She were beautiful and sang in the church choir. Ever thing were wonderful. He carried 'round a picture of her and she were real pretty. But Leslie Faye Schultze seen the same picture in the frames at Woolworth's and knowed something were wrong. The salesman said he knowed 'bout the pictures and his wife modeled for photos what was used in picture frames and put in magazine ads. He were such a honest sounding guy we all believed him. All but Leslie Faye.
Tomorrow: Leslie Faye goes detective on us.
