"If you say so." He smiled, pointing to the book I'd left open beside me. "So what are you reading?"

"The Cottingley Fairies. "I picked it up and showed him.

"Let me see." He took the book from me and slowly flipped through it. "Oh, yes, the two little girls. You know, there's a movie that came out a while ago. And I know I've seen those photos in person. At the Frick, I think. They're pretty interesting, aren't they?"

"The photos are here, in New York?"

"I think so. Well, at least they were at one point. I don't know, really. There are a few fairy-themed pieces at the Frick, as I recall, so I might be confusing them with something else. Actually, I think they just have a few paintings they recently acquired. From the fairy craze in England. The Times had a piece on it."

I looked at him carefully. Could he know what he was saying? "I don't think I've ever been there," I said.

"Never been to the Frick? Really? I thought you were from New York. You should go. I think you'd love it. It's the private collection of an old steel magnate. A mansion full of art. You can feel the ghosts in that place."

"Oh, yes," I said. I laughed, self-conscious. "I have heard of it. Of course. Things get a little jumbled when you get to be my age, George."

"You act like you're a hundred years old, Lil."

"It sure feels like it," I said.

He paused, then shook his head, looking at me. "So. Louise Brooks, huh?"

"That's right."

"Remember, Lil. I'm no good at this."

"Lucky for you," I said, "I am."
