_____On his right wrist,
he was wearing a gold watch that I never seen before.
The watch band was elaborately constructed of a series of links.
Each link was rectangular - filigreed with curlicues and sea shells.
An amethyst (or a piece of antique blue green glass)
_____was set in the center of each link.
I noticed that the time was incorrectly set.
"Where did you get that watch?" I asked.

"That is a long story," he said. He handed the joint to Monika.

She said: "I have all night."
