Neville proudly wears his second suit on Fifth Avenue

When he owned only one suit and could finally afford a second, Neville put on the new suit and hat and walked down 5th Avenue certain everyone knew it was new, and nobody knew him at all; in those days the suit cost thirty dollars, whereas today he would think nothing of sleeping in a $200-odd suit.

    Reasoning Passage 547754 is Neville telling in the first person the story of walking down 5th Avenue proud of his second suit, contrasting the thirty-dollar suit of 'those days' with a $200-odd suit today -- this is the telling. The owning lecture nid 1882 carries a delivery claim confirmed by two independent methods (document dateline and internal current-events content) converging on 1968-03-22 exact/certain. The telling inherits that precision and confidence exactly.
