Annette George was first. After seating herself in the fairly new
green overstuffed chair in the fly-tying love consulting room, she
confessed to Marvin Pincus that she needed some advice on fixing her
hair to attract men.And while Marvin was tying up a March Hare
dry for her (and trying to think of a hairdo that would look good)
the doorbell rang again. This time it was Mrs. Doc, and she was
given coffee by Marjorie in the living room as she waited her turn.
In a few minutes, Annette emerged from the consulting room with
her fly and the recommendation to try a "flip thing" on her hair.
The doorbell rang before Mrs. Doc even got to tell Marvin about the
problem she was having getting Doc to listen to how her day went.
When Mrs. Doc came out with a smile and a hug for Marvin, she was
carrying a wire-wrapped Woolly Worm and his suggestion that she
dangle a cup of coffee in front of Doc while asking him if he'd like
to hear how her day went.
And in the living room, being served coffee and cookies, were
Anita Campbell, Mickey Baker, Florencio Ortiz and Steve the cowboy.
Marvin stood there, smiling, and asked who was next. The next
day, four more people came by for advice and flies.
"You know it's funny, Marge," said Marvin, helping himself to
seconds of her flank steak dinner, "I never figured Len Beasley for
a Baetis Parachute Emerger. Goes to show, you just never know, do
you."
