"I notice," says Old Hickory, taking back the sheet, "that one feature of the entertainment was an impersonation by Mr. Brinkerhoff Hollis, of 'the Old He-Crab Himself unloading a morning grouch'. Now, just what does that mean?" "Couldn't say exactly," says I. "I wasn't there." "Oh, you were not, eh?" says he. "Didn't suppose you were.
He didn't know what a bond looked like until a year ago and that piece of work called for an old hand." "Possibly, possibly," agrees Old Hickory. "It seems he is clever enough at this sort of thing, however," and he waves the program. I couldn't help smotherin' a chuckle. "Am I to infer," says Mr. Ellins, "that this He-Crab act of his was humorous?"
"That's what they tell me," says I. "You see, right after dinner Brink was missin' and everybody was wonderin' what had become of him, when all of a sudden he bobs up through a tin-foil lake in the middle of the table and proceeds to do this crab impersonation in costume. They say it was a scream." "It was, eh?" grunts Old Hickory. "And the Old He-Crab referred to who was that?"
But about that He-Crab act of mine. Sounds a bit raw, doesn't it? I expect it was, too. I'd like to say, though, that all I meant by it was to make a little fun for the boys. No personal animosity behind it, sir, even if " Old Hickory waves his hand careless. "I'm beginning to get your point of view, Hollis," says he. "The boss is always fair game, eh?" "Something like that," says Brink.
Organize 'em as much as you like. Show 'em how to play. Give that He-Crab act if you wish. We'll start you in at a dollar a man. That satisfactory?" I believe Brink tried to say it was, only what he got out was so choky you could hardly tell. But he goes out beamin'. "Well!" says Old Hickory, turnin' to me. "I suppose he'll call that coming safely out of a nose dive, eh?"
