A couple silver foxes from the Mink Mile took Jesse Brown for a ride. They said their names were Walter and Beverly. The Mink Mile, for those of you who aren’t from Toronto or don’t regularly drop three figures for socks, is a strip of upscale boutiques in the city’s downtown. Anyway, the characters claiming to be Walter and Beverly offered to sell Mr. Brown an elegant cardigan. But that’s not what he got.
