Patient waiting

     Miss Withers knew that there was a saying that if you wait on the corner of Forty-second Street at Fifth Avenue long enough, you will meet everyone you ever knew. She had always doubted the usefulness of meeting everyone she'd ever known, and besides, there wasn't a high of probability that one of the cowboys had taken up such a vigil. Much less Rose Keeley, who didn't appear a highly patient person.
