Louis Oswald was all about appearances. He smiled briefly on the way up the elevator with the single thought, *this is what it must feel like to be made of money.* He quickly did a mental tally: $5,500 custom tailored suit, $6,000 Tag Heuer watch, $500 hat, $800 monk-style shoes, $500 shirt, $350 undergarments and a personalized umbrella from his collection (priceless, at least as far as he was concerned).
The doors parted and he was admitted to an expansive waiting room. “Exactly as I remember it,” Oz said, sauntering forward, toward the only other human in view. “You must be Mr. Dick Grayson’s secretary. I am Mr. Louis Oswald. Here is my calling card,” he offered, extending his hand. “He should be expecting me.”
“Oh,” Ted responded, “I’m sure he is then...” He gingerly took the card and - in order not to betray a snide *people still carry these* look - glanced down at his ledger. “I’ll inform him you are here.” He keyed in a message for Dick. “Please, have a seat.”
Oz nodded and retreated to a nearby chair.
“Is it raining?”
“No.” Oz followed the secretary’s gaze to his umbrella. “Since when is rain a prereq for carrying an umbrella?”
