You never know when you're going to run across one of the old crowd. I cut short the reunion, though, to ask about Creighton. "The swell in the silk lid I just had words with," says I.
"Bettah tell us the story," suggested the swamper quietly. "Yo' ain't foolin', are yo', Mistuh Creighton?" The New Yorker shook his head. "No, I'm not fooling. But you are not the first one to question my story." He smiled reminiscently. "Judge Henry Lane had to see every line of written proof this morning before he would admit that the tale might be true."
