The nice thing about the city is that when you�re having a truly awful day, when the little things that can go wrong do and extra things you didn�t even think could go wrong happen � like when your heel gets stuck in a sewer grating and you go flopping forward, or when your thigh-high stocking falls down because you decided to forgo the garters � you can turn a corner, walk a block, and be surrounded by people who don�t have any idea what just happened.
They might wonder about the limp, but they can just deal with it.
