#429 Custom-Made Bride- Kurt Vonnegut
Krummbein designed his wife. She was his secretary a shy,
dowdy, brown-haired woman with a different name, Kitty Cahoun, when they met.
Then, he began to “design” her, one by one changing the things about her until
she became Falloleen, the perfect woman.
“It’s a Krummbein original…Kitty Cahoun didn’t go with the
décor.”
Hal has been hired to take care of Krummbein’s financial
woes. He is an incredibly successful man but impractical. He treats his life
like he treats his wife, like something is always to be fixed, so now he is
broke. Having to face his situation makes his wife’s façade crack, and now his
life is in danger of turning upside down. Nothing a little moonlight makeup
can’t fix.
