Oxford Woman’s Loafers

The man in the hat’s great-grandmother worked as a seamstress for the Bradley and Bradley Seamstress Company in Juarez Mexico, Gelnica Kosice, Slovakia, Zweibrcken Rheinland-Pfalz Germany for a man with the following bio: Arbeitet an einem Doktorat in Philosophie, die sich stärker in der psychoanalytischen Theorie als langweilig analytischen Philosophie, Lima Peru, Senegal Africa, taking a second job as a telephone-operator with the Telefonica del Peru, and while in Africa, for the Societe Nationale Des Telecommunications Du Senega, Providence Rhode Island, Almere Flevoland the Netherlands, Eschborn Hessen, 189.41.36.# (Unknown Organization) Brazil, Blue Yonder Birmingham, Birmingham, Derby, Rochefort Poitou-Charentes, France, Hollansburg Ohio and County Cork, Cork Ireland. She married 27 ½ times to 25 grooms, two and a half of whom she wed twice. She gave birth to eleven children, all boys, and kept a blind hamster for a pet. She wore ankle-length skirts and brown Oxford woman’s loafers, white blouses and a cameo broach of a camel on her jacket lapel. She had never been to a cockfight, a baseball game or a box-store, and refused to speak a word before breakfast. She liked skillet-fried kidneys for breakfast, lunch and as a late-night treat, Gin and crabapple juice with a sprig of heather, poached eggs on rye toast and black coffee with a sprig of English cucumber. The man in the hat thought his great-grandmother strange, but kept his thoughts to himself, redirecting his energy to the study of hats and hat-makers.
