Harry’s blackouts
Chapter 32
Harry did another blackout with a book of swatches that his tailor had left behind by accident.
2When he saw them sitting on the table, he grabbed them and held them right up to the camera, saying,
3Yes, the spectrum of moral certainties in our age is too dazzlingly diverse to deal with,
4As you can see.
5For just when you think the dmedium gray will do,
6Then you are practically seduced by this excellent edove gray,
7But no sooner have you made up your mind about this than the superbly understated fcharcoal gray seems to turn your head right around,
8Until, that is, you encounter this fabulously sophisticated gmedium-light charcoal gray,
9And then it seems you might never be able to decide precisely which shade of gray is right for you.
10In fact, that’s why I always order white suits myself,
11Because it’s so much easier to assume that I’m always right,
12About everything,
13Without thinking about it at all.
