But after a few careless remarks about a good-looking widow, Harvey finds himself bunking at his friend, Al’s house. Without Marge hovering over him, Harvey and Al are living like bachelors. They eat what they want, fish whenever they please—even play poker with their medications. But after several untimely mishaps, Harvey finds himself homeless again. Should he go back to Marge with his tail between his legs? Harvey thinks not. Until he sees Marge getting chummy with the mailman and a lecherous old scoundrel from church. That’s when Harvey realizes he’ll do anything to eliminate Marge’s suitors—legal or otherwise—just so long as Marge takes him back.Knights of the Elbow is a book about happenstance and reawakenings. It’s about the pursuit of happiness—because it’s never too late for an old dog to learn something new.
