The newspapers and handbills would accumulate in a dusty little heap on the porch; but when she returned there was always a grand cleaning, with the windows open, and Blanche her head bound turbanwise in a towel appearing at a window every few minutes to shake out a dustcloth. She seemed to put an enormous amount of energy into those cleanings as if they were a sort of safety valve.
He wore gold rings in his ears and to cap his piratical-looking figure was a red bandana worn turbanwise upon his head. "What's the matter with you, young feller?
