Now that's class (or: I am easily dazzled)

The AAN convention was held at the Peabody Hotel in downtown Little Rock. The Little Rock Peabody is a relatively new structure, and lacks the antediluvian grandeur of the original in Memphis. Still, our lodgings were altogether swank. The celebrated Peabody ducks swam serenely in the lobby, and the bellhops dressed like bellhops. I have never slept on a hotel mattress so comfortable.

One morning I left my toothbrush on the sink. I returned, later, to find that a Peabody staffer had swaddled it in a tiny bed made from a towel.
