Some said that he had been Blighted in Love and had soured on the Universe. Others imagined that his Liver was out of Whack. At any rate, he was shy on Sweetness and Light. His Dial suggested a Map of the Bad Lands and he was just out of Kind Words. He could Knock better than he could Boost. He seemed to have a Calomel Taste in his Mouth as he listened to the musical drip of the Mush-and-Milk.
