Waiting for Him


       She was a tall, seedy, sad-eyed blonde who had once been a policewoman and had lost her job when she married a cheap little check bouncer named Johnny Horne, to reform him. She hadn't reformed him, but she was waiting for him to come out, so she could try again.

Raymond Chandler
Trouble is My Business
1939
