"So I took what money I had and started a pool-room. I thought maybe I'd feel better seeing people around all day. Well it wasn't so bad. But one night a little woman with a baby in her arms came to the door and begged me to send her husband home and not let him play in my place any more. She said she had no milk for the baby and no fire, that he was spending everything he earned in my poolroom.
But can you manage the rope?" He laughed a little. "I ought to! I've been through a poolroom raid or two, over home!" "In Trieste then, a week from morrow!" She handed him her brandy-flask. "You may need it," she explained. He was on his feet by this time, struggling to pull himself together. "But you can't face that alone," he remonstrated, with a thumb-jerk toward the hall.
He kept on around the corner to the raided poolroom on the next street. Dillon's man, who had been stationed there to watch the place, bowed and admitted him. "I'm going to throw it into him good, this time," remarked Garrick, as he entered. "I've been planning this stunt for an emergency and it's here. Now for the big scare!"
She's rather pretty and intelligent. In fact, she's generally capable and a good manager." "You seem to know her well since you call her Sadie." "Oh," said Festing, "everybody calls her Sadie!" "You mean in the bar and poolroom? I understand the latter's a public billiard-saloon!" Festing felt that he must do Sadie justice.
