"Please put this on, sir,"
she said, her hands
shaking a little as she
held out the freshly pressed suit.
He was the handsomest man
she'd ever seen --
no wonder he was in the flickers.
With a nod and a
"thank you, miss"
he went to change.
With all the primping and posing
for his portrait
did he know she hid behind
the curtain, watching as
they captured it?
One cannot be sure, of course,
but I'd like to think
that after it was over
his solemn eyes began to twinkle
and he turned to her
and smiled.
