<br /> <br /> "It rained all the next day. Late in the afternoon I sat parked in a blue Chrysler roadster, diagonally across the Boulevard from a narrow store front, over which a green neon sign in script<br /> letters said: "H. H. Steiner."<br /> <br /> The rain splashed knee-high off the sidewalks, filled the gutters, and big cops in slickers that shone like gun barrels had a lot of fun carrying little girls in silk stockings and cute little<br /> rubber boots across the bad places, with a lot of squeezing.<br /> <br /> The rain drummed on the hood of the Chrysler, beat and tore at the taut material of the top, leaked in at the buttoned places, and made a pool on the floorboards for me to keep my feet in.<br /> <br /> I had a big flask of Scotch with me. I used it often enough to keep interested."<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> Raymond Chandler, "Killer in the Rain" (1935)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
