"Odd I didn't know it." "That's why it was good. You'd never guess it in the world." "No, I believe I shouldn't. You see what makes it so hard, Hedrick, is that I can't even remember seeing you, last night." "Nobody saw me. Somebody heard me though, all right." "Who?" "The nigger that works at your mother's Joe." "What about it? Were you teasing Joe?" "No, it was you I was after." "Well?

Cora began lightly to sing: . . . "Dear, Would thou wert near To hear me tell how fair thou art! Since thou art gone I mourn all alone, Oh, my Lolita " She broke off to explain: "It's one of those passionate little Spanish serenades, Hedrick. I'll sing it for your boy-friends next time they come to play in the yard. I think they'd like it.
Madison, conquering a tendency to laugh, preserved a serene countenance and said ruminatively: "They were all rather queer, the Corlisses." Hedrick stared incredulously, baffled; but men must expect these things, and this was no doubt a helpful item in his education. "I wonder if he wants to sell the house," said Mrs. Madison.

So he became a great man. At home he assumed a patronising air to the people about Charley Hedrick.
"Oh, it might be called anything," he laughed. "And your sailors are Italian fishermen?" Hedrick slew a mosquito upon his temple, smiting himself hard. "No, they're Chinese!" he muttered hoarsely. "They're Neapolitans," said Corliss. "Do they wear red sashes and earrings?" asked Cora. "One of them wears earrings and a derby hat!" "Ah!" she protested, turning to him again. "You don't tell me.
