Carol And Her Big Lug

Alt, though, wasn't much of a party-er. But she was something of a health nut, in fact, a nondairy vegetarian whose chief vice was an occasional cup of scotch coffee. And she liked to get her rest. So at 10:30, after waiting nearly an hour, she walked over and confronted Greschner directly. "I offered you a drink," Alt said. "At least have the courtesy to tell me you don't want it so I can go home."

Greschner apologized. He came over to her table and, still skeptical, sat down. He asked what she was drinking. "Hot water and lemon," Alt replied.

Greschner understood that models could be kind of flaky, but this was a new one to him. "Hot water and lemon?"

"It's very refreshing."

Greschner took her word for it and ordered a beer. Then, by way of making small talk, he said, "You don't drink?"

"No."

"Do you smoke?" Greschner asked.

"No."

"Do you do drugs?"

"No."
