The leader turned and discovered Teddy and his lemons. He was beside himself with rage. He understood, now, why his musicians had failed. Teddy sucking the lemon had given many of them "the puckers."
"What music?" "Where they played last night. Then I found this bench and sat down, and thought and thought and at last I fell fast asleep." "Oh, is that it? That makes a difference, perhaps. What did you go to the bandstand for?" "I don't know; I " "Very well afterwards. You are always interrupting me. What woman was it you were dreaming about?" "It was about you saw her "
