If you were to write another chapter about that gal, I'd read it. I want to hear her story. You're writing a bit like Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett but with humor. It fits you well.

Adroit is a French word, which means "to the right" mid 17th century: from French, from à droit ‘according to right, properly’. "A gauche" means "to the left" . When a person is gauche they are a boor like me, socially awkward.

How about using "turgid" without following it with "member"? Or "eschew"? Nice story fragment, by the way. Very 1950s noir.
