The old man stopped me on the path inside the park and said, before I could stop him, Let me tell you something about this bench, this one here, this bench is named for the man who led the school, the one right over there, a man who had a large nose, right there, but who was a fine man at that school when I knew him, a fine man with a big nose, and something else, too, he had the word nose in his name, too, and isn't that just something to think about, and when I replied that I, too, knew the man, and agreed, but hadn't seen this particular bench in the park before, we were both quiet for a minute, strangers thinking together of the man with a large nose who led the school, right there.
