Lefty and Hugo: Waiting for Neko
Overheard in an apartment in Paris, Saturday evening:
"Hugo?"
"Yes, Lefty?"
"I thought Neko was coming to visit us."
"That was the plan."
"Well... where is she? Did she get lost? I thought she had those smart socks?"
"Maybe she didn't listen to them."
"Oh."
...
"Hugo?"
"Yes, Lefty?"
"Does that mean we won't get to meet the smart socks?"
<Hugo smiles, thinking of Marguerite and Cosette, those incredibly brainy-- and very warm-- chaussettes>
"Oh, I think we'll get to meet them."
