    What about

    "An ornery old man was standing ..."
    or maybe
    "A cantankerous old man was standing ..."
    Better than "rickety," but I think it's too simplistic. You don't want to "give away" your characters in the first sentence. And the old man might not even be ornery or cantankerous-we've only read a paragraph so far

    How much? I was just wondering if I could presume on our acquaintanceship to ask if you could lend me $60,000?
