उत्तर
No, Bill could never manage to be suave in his ways. He would rise from a dinner table without looking as if he had just experienced “an extremely localized seismic event”. He would get in a car and close the door leaving fourteen inches of coat outside. He would wear light-coloured trousers discovering at the end of the day that he had at various times sat on chewing gum, ice cream, cough syrup and motor oil. He tried to be suave, but it was not to be.
