Q () the seventeenth letter of the English alphabet, has but one sound
(that of k), and is always followed by u, the two letters together
being sounded like kw, except in some words in which the u is silent.
See Guide to Pronunciation, / 249. Q is not found in Anglo-Saxon, cw
being used instead of qu; as in cwic, quick; cwen, queen. The name (k/)
is from the French ku, which is from the Latin name of the same letter;
its form is from the Latin, which derived it, through a Greek alphabet,
from the Ph/nician, the ultimate origin being Egyptian.
The rain spun in the yellow arc lights over the café parking lot. It was empty inside, except for a fat Negro woman whom I could see through the service window in the kitchen, and a pretty, redheaded waitress in her early twenties, dressed in a pink uniform with her hair tied up on her freckled neck. She was obviously tired, but she was polite and smiled at me when she took my order, and I felt a sense of guilt, almost shame, at my susceptibility and easy fondness for a young woman's smile. Because if you're forty-nine and unmarried or a widower or if you've simply chosen to live alone, you're easily flattered by a young woman's seeming attention to you, and you forget that it is often simply a deference to your age.
