"It's a  pleasure to meet you, ma'am," said Big Mike.  "This is Jeanine, my better half...and,our son, Mike, Jr."  "These are the Potains.  Jim is one of our new floor supervisors," Big Mike said by way of explanation.

Jim hollered across the largely empty sanctuary.

As Mike turned, his face suddenly grew hot and his heart felt like the wagon sounded whenever his dad revved the engine.
