It’s half an hour to where I’m going. The client is expecting me at 3:00 pm. He likes to discuss business over tea and homemade cakes, showing off his wife’s baking prowess. I’ll arrive early at this rate, but first I have one more stop.

In another town along the highway is a secondhand and antique shop. I call by there every couple of trips to check out new stock. I sometimes find an inexpensive gift for my wife. A man having an affair with another woman often attempts to reconcile his guilt by showering his wife with gifts. There is no guilt in my acquaintance with Audrey Hepburn’s portrait, yet I’m not sure why I buy these gifts. When I give them to my wife she scolds me for wasting money on useless junk. Gifts aren’t her love language.

Once, I found a Synyer and Beddoes hallmarked silver match case engraved with my initials. What are the odds of finding something like that with your own initials? This time I see a pewter thimble with a lucky horseshoe motif tucked away in the corner of a display cabinet.

“May I look at the pewter thimble? The one there in the corner at the back.”

“It came in an old sewing box amongst everyday things. I have better ones too, silver or porcelain.”

Close up on my finger, I see its rustic, home-crafted optimism, much like the ring from the crackerjack box presented to Holly Golightly. The sticker on the back says ten dollars.

“I’ll take it for ten dollars!”

“I mustn’t have put a high enough price on it,” the proprietor laughs.

We talk about some other things in her stock before I bid my farewell. Now I must get to where I’m going, do my work, and return home. A thimbleful of luck will see me safe.
