Oh Lord, this is great.
Ole pimply Leonard wants Suttree to help him unload his old man who has been dead for six months and left in the back room so’s they can still collect his welfare and medical checks.
After listening patiently to all the facts, Suttree suggests that Leonard instead "Get Harrogate to help you. Loonies ought to stick together."
I suspect this doesn’t end with Suttree leaving the diner…yep, I’m right. I had to peek a couple pages ahead and spotted "Leonard…"
Gotta go. Hafta see what he’s up to. Or officially, how this conflict reaches a closure.
