The hulking shape of the man stopped when the door cracked and the
light from the hall lamp struck his reaching fingers. My drawers were
open and clothes flung into piles. My initial impression was one of
disorder, the clean lines of folded apparel now erased in the
crumpled heaps. But after another moment of consideration, I realized
that this was merely one form of order imposed on the other; this
order being that of colour. Red socks with red evening jackets. White
underclothing with white blouses. And it was this epiphany that led
to another. Namely, this must be the eccentric captain of the ship,
"Primary Currents," whose red, blue, and yellow hull had
docked two evenings previous.
