Then he secured a dustcloth from a hook, produced a small vial of chloroform, and poured some of the liquid on the cloth. He poured more of the chloroform on his hair and his vest. Then he laid down the cloth and got a roll of tape out of a drawer.
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.
