Shaking off the 41 like a wet dog , I entered Mr Rader’s office . After a quick glance he 42 me over to the fire-place . Noticing the 43 in the top of my 44 , he said , “ Come with me !” pulling me into his pickup 45 . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store . Inside , a salesman 46 me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had 47 seen . I 48 about 10 feet tall when I got up 49 them . “ We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr Rader said .
