Some daywe might be very glad to have a house next to him.
Phil, whenyou get
very mad, do you think about machine-guns? And, I had one fine week in Denver,
on my trek.
Neil had to leave at midnight, which is merely tuning-up time in
arace-discussion. Oh, I liked it as much as I do the way Eliot Hansen simpers
at youand always manages to touch you!
That would be all right, said Lucian,
while Neil found himselfnot liking to answer.
We was wondering if you can take
it with us coalheavers,Neil?
The pay isnt much, but you mightwork up to a
position as buyer, fairly quickly. Was he imagining it, or did their own
waiterbecome impertinent now?
Daisy Hansen probed, I declare, Im crazy about
your husband. On Thursday, I got a job driving a truck.
Sort of reorganizing
the sports department for Harley Bozard. Neil crowed, Theyre roughnecks, but
theyre fun.
She did not hold with sitting around at homeand having noble
principles. The streets were slippery enough for chains, and hedrove into a
garage to have them put on.
He remembered that he hadnever particularly liked
Harley. Borus Bugdoll would do this so muchbetter.
They got a satisfactory
price, in the post-war shortage.
You go downto Mayo Street and grab off a fat
job with Vanderbilt Litch.
And stay strictly away from other folks lockers.
But
he was nothopeful about his future as a freak attraction. It might be better
so, before Vestal gets any moreirritated, says anything worse.
Oh,Neil, my good
friend, you have led me into strange heresies, eventhough I scarcely know
you.
With all his fondness forthem, he had been a little condescending.
Hes the
most charming and intelligent boy Iknow.
You mean to say you could ever
tolerate the way thathorrible Bugdoll leers?
Sell sweaters and fishing-lines
allhis life?
ButEliot made up for the timidity of his peers. She did not hold
with sitting around at homeand having noble principles.
By golly, he never
spoke of it, and I plumb forgot I WAScolored help.
They got a satisfactory
price, in the post-war shortage.
I guess youll have a mean time with the ofays.
