{ homecoming } that this slight body with its transparent wings
Acquisition of Alex Georgiou had commenced more or less as soon as he arrived in New York and drew himself inevitably to Jemima's attention; she has since come to view it as nothing less than a total success. Presumably this has something to do with why she's waiting, in her swagger-coat and cloche hat, for Alex to pick her up from the apartment on what is her ingenious idea of a welcome back from Greece:
Shopping for his very first NYC winter wardrobe.
A list of suggested purveyors of menswear has been provided by Dr Dessoir after a little demanding and a lot of cajoling, and Jemima has already crossed two of them off of it after taking a quick look in her father's wardrobe. Just because he likes waistcoats doesn't mean everybody has to wear them, jeez.
