Crowning Glory
Artie regards his image in the mirror thoughtfully as he contemplates Jim's proposal. It usually takes quite a bit of rice powder to make him a convincing blonde, but the new wig that's arrived from the finest milliner in Philadelphia is just the right shade for him. It's glorious, spilling down his back, long enough to sit on---and pull loose---if he's not careful.
"I dare you," Jim grins from the doorway. He takes the two steps that frame him behind Artie in the looking-glass and places one hand on his partner's shoulder, his fingers combing through the long golden strands
"Be careful," the disguise expert admonishes. "Do you have any idea how much this masterpiece cost? I'm not going to risk it in some hare-brained---"
"Very lovely hair," croons the Secret Service agent, caressing Artie's bare shoulder through the gilt tresses. "You'd be ravishing."
"You can ravish me right here without a lot of crazy---"
Jim brushes aside the sweep of ringlets to kiss the nape of Artie's neck. "I'll let you borrow my horse," he cajoles. "I'll buy you a new wig if anything happens to this one. I'll shoot anyone who gets near you! Please?"
"For the last time, Jim---I don't care how much you beg. I am NOT going to reenact Lady Godiva's ride!"
