The autocrat's retort was courteous. "You have a brother in the penitentiary."
Her hands were small and well kept, although the skin hung loose upon them, spotted with the moth-patches of age. Her figure was erect, but stout. "What is it, brother?" she asked softly, addressing the back of the autocrat's head. He wheeled about sharply. "Why do you always come in like a cat? Do you think those people will come to-day? It's raining cats and dogs."
The Bohemians were the beginning and the end of the story for me, and to tell the truth I did not like the story. I remember that as I sat at that table under the pavement, in Pfaff's beer-cellar, and listened to the wit that did not seem very funny, I thought of the dinner with Lowell, the breakfast with Fields, the supper at the Autocrat's, and felt that I had fallen very far.
