The thick, black wool was soft and unworn. It had a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring and an _38_ price of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but Johns eyes shone. Dark, woolen overcoats were popular with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, _39_ that touch of classic elegance from long ago.John tried it on and turned from side to side, _40_ himself in the mirror with a(n) _41_, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The _42_ was perfect. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a wide smile. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They _43_ it!” he said, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and _44_ it flat. Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. _45_ replaced contrariness; _46_, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He became more mannerly and more thoughtful, eager to _47_ me. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start _48_ homework before dinner, John, who was always putting off doing stuff, said, “Youre _49_. I guess I will.” When I _50_ this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didnt know what caused the _51_, she said laughing, “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to Johns new height, _52_ the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. John and I both know we should never _53_ a persons clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for _54_ a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for _55_ what is on the inside to what is on the outside. 36.
