He finally found the courage
to lift the coat.
Nothing. It was just a crumpled coat, that's all. Steve let out a sigh
of relief. He rummaged through the pockets - nothing. He turned the coat
inside out, still no money. Darn! How was he going to get to the hotel
without money?
He thought for a while and tried to retrace last night's steps. Impossible. He didn't have a clue where he was. And he was cold. So he decided to put on the coat. A damp coat is better than no coat, he reasoned. Then he decided to hail a taxi and try to convince the driver that he would pay him at the hotel.
The first two attempts failed miserably. The taxis slowed down a bit, then roared off into the distance. Boy, that coat must really be something!
The third taxi stopped, the driver looked at him a little suspiciously but was kind enough to take him to the hotel where Steve promptly paid him. Then he took a long bath, took a cat nap, went to have breakfast, and hurried to the station to catch the train to Westport.
