"Ever seen a girl in orange leathers afore?"
"Nope"
"Well'p. There's one now. Comin' up the Trade way. Looks the damn fool."
"Ayuh"
There is a long pause as the men watch the orange-clad woman pass. Then one of the old men looks up at the clouds and gestures with his pipe.
"Looks like we're in for a bit o' weather."
"Ayuh".
