How did she like it?

What a morningBill said. The damn police kept arresting chaps that wanted to go and commit suicide with the bulls.

Dont you know about that?Mike was opening a beer-bottle. He poured the beer into one of the glasses, holding the glass close to the bottle.

Why didnt you hit him with a chair?

We took her home just now. Shes gone to bed.

It took about an hour.

Yes.

I said it wouldnt be fair to my creditors,Mike said.

Here she is,Mike said. Heres the beautiful lady with the beer.

You can talk,Mike said. Hed have knocked you out, too. I never saw him hit me. I rather think I saw him just before, and then quite suddenly I was sitting down in the street, and Jake was lying under a table.

Bill laughed.
