      “Someone who appreciates good food.”

      He bristled. “I’m not a gourmet. I hate pretentious stuff—”

      “Like snooty French restaurants?”

      “I do like French cuisine,” he said cautiously, “if it’s done well. But not an overly rich menu and a wine list that’s past its prime.”

      Hank hesitated only for an instant. “There’s a diner in Cheyenne that’s top-notch. The best homemade sausage this side of the Mississippi.” He looked cautious again. “Why are you asking?”

      “No special reason. Conversation, I guess. And I like food myself. I keep a scrapbook of my favorite restaurants.”
