Hadrian did not interrupt him, but he looked him keenly and enquiringly in the face, and then said, gravely, but coolly: "It seems to me, man, that I should do well to break off my connection with you, and to give some other dealer the commissions which I proposed to entrust to you." "Caesar!" stammered Gabinius, "I really do not know " "But I do know," interrupted the Emperor.
"Well, I know more than that," Steve said. "I've been to Greenville and found out about him from the people at the settlement house. A fruit dealer reported him to the police for stealing bananas, and the police passed the case on to them. The kid lives with a man named Grimsley, in a shack down by the river, in the gas-tank section. You know what that neighbourhood is, John.
