The desk clerk, who looks like he combed his hair with bacon grease, then cleaned his hands with his tie, unlocks the door to McGrave's room and leads him inside.

The small room, only a little larger than the bed, is clean but has an overpowering blue motif. Blue flowered wallpaper. Blue carpet. Blue lampshades. McGrave gestures to the bed. There's a single pillow and a thick comforter, which is folded in half on the bedsheet.

"The room is fine," McGrave says. "But could you please send someone up to make the bed?"

"Make bed. Yes." The clerk speaks in heavily accented German and smiles knowingly. "I find you someone. Good price. Mann oder Frau?"

"No, no, I don't want anybody. The bed isn't done. I want sheets and blankets," McGrave says. The clerk stares at him blankly. So McGrave tries again. "Bedding. Der sheets and der blankets."

"The bed is here." The clerk points at it. "Das Bett."

McGrave gives up and just takes the key. "Thanks, it's swell."

The clerk smiles and leaves. McGrave looks at himself in the mirror, rubs his cheeks, and frowns. It's just occurred to him that he's got no toiletries, no change of clothes, and nothing to eat.

Time to venture out into the wilderness.
