‘He Thrust the Lemon Toward Me as if It Were a Bouquet’
Key Points:
- A woman ordered pizza for a lazy day but received a call from a doorman of a different building on her block saying the pizza had been delivered there by mistake.
- The doorman explained he was busy and had instructed the delivery person to leave the pizza on the desk, only realizing the wrong address afterward.
- The woman got dressed, went out, retrieved her pizza from the other building, and brought it back to herself.
- The diary entry also mentions a hopeful visit to a neighborhood fruit stand on Broadway near 73rd Street, anticipating the presence of a familiar stand-minder.
