He had always thought of Quebec as a rare old bit of time-yellowed lace among cities the heart of the New World as it had once been, still beating, still whispering of its one-time power, still living in the memory of its mellowed romance, its almost forgotten tragedies a ghost that lived, that still beat back defiantly the destroying modernism that would desecrate its sacred things.
"A rip more or less won't make no difference," he said, and cut a slash down the lining. There, carefully stowed inside, where it could not be suspected, was a folded, time-yellowed paper.
