070Wonderful nigger. Looked like Tiger Flowers, only four times as big. All of a sudden everybody started to throw things. Not me. Niggerd just knocked local boy down. Nigger put up his glove. Wanted to make a speech. Awful noble-looking nigger. Started to make a speech. Then local white boy hit him. Then he knocked white boy cold. Then everybody commenced to throw chairs. Nigger went home with us in our car. Couldnt get his clothes. Wore my coat. Remember the whole thing now. Big sporting evening. What happened? Loaned the nigger some clothes and went around with him to try and get his money. Claimed nigger owed them money on account of wrecking hall. Wonder who translated? Was it me? Probably it wasnt you. Youre right. Wasnt me at all. Was another fellow. Think we called him the local Harvard man. Remember him now. Studying music. Howd you come out? Not so good, Jake. Injustice everywhere. Promoter claimed nigger promised let local boy stay. Claimed nigger violated contract. Cant knock out Vienna boy in Vienna. ˉMy God, Mister Gorton, said nigger, ˉI didnt do nothing in there for forty minutes but try and let him stay. That white boy musta ruptured himself swinging at me. I never did hit him. Did you get any money? No money, Jake. All we could get was niggers clothes. Somebody took his watch, too. Splendid nigger. Big mistake to have come to Vienna. Not so good, Jake. Not so good. What became of the nigger? Went back to Cologne. Lives there. Married. Got a family. Going to write me a letter and send me the money I loaned him. Wonderful nigger. Hope I gave him the right address. You probably did. Well, anyway, lets eat, said Bill. Unless you want me to tell you some more travel stories. Go on. Lets eat. We went down-stairs and out onto the Boulevard St. Michel in the warm June evening. Where will we go? Want to eat on the island? Sure. We walked down the Boulevard. At the juncture of the Rue Denfert-Rochereau with the Boulevard is a statue of two men in flowing robes. I know who they are. Bill eyed the monument. Gentlemen who invented pharmacy. Dont try and fool me on Paris. We went on. Heres a taxidermists, Bill said. Want to buy anything? Nice stuffed dog? Come on, I said. Youre pie-eyed. Pretty nice stuffed dogs, Bill said. Certainly brighten up your flat. Come on. Just one stuffed dog. I can take ˉem or leave ˉem alone. But listen, Jake. Just one stuffed dog. Come on. Mean everything in the world to you after you bought it. Simple exchange of values. You give them money. They give you a stuffed dog. Well get one on the way back. All right. Have it your own way. Road to hell paved with unbought stuffed dogs. Not my fault. We went on. Howd you feel that way about dogs so sudden? Always felt that way about dogs. Always been a great lover of stuffed animals. We stopped and had a drink. Certainly like to drink, Bill said. You ought to try it some times, Jake. Youre about a hundred and forty-four ahead of me. Ought not to daunt you. Never be daunted. Secret of my success. Never been daunted. Never been daunted in public. Where were you drinking? Stopped at the Crillon. George made me a couple of Jack Roses. Georges a great man. Know the secret of his success? Never been daunted. Youll be daunted after about three more pernods. Not in public. If I begin to feel daunted Ill go off by myself. Im like a cat that way. When did you see Harvey Stone? At the Crillon. Harvey was just a little daunted. Hadnt eaten for three days. Doesnt eat any more. Just goes off like a cat. Pretty sad. Hes all right. Splendid. Wish he wouldnt keep going off like a cat, though. Makes me nervous. Whatll we do to-night? Doesnt make any difference. Only lets not get daunted. Suppose they got any hard-boiled eggs here? If they had hard-boiled eggs here we wouldnt have to go all the way down to the island to eat. Nix, I said. Were going to have a regular meal. Just a suggestion, said Bill. Want to start now? Come on. We started on again down the Boulevard. A horse-cab passed us. Bill looked at it. See that horse-cab? Going to have that horse-cab stuffed for you for Christmas. Going to give all my friends stuffed animals. Im a nature-writer.

The taxi backed up to the curb. In it was Brett. Beautiful lady, said Bill. Going to kidnap us. Hullo! Brett said. Hullo! This is Bill Gorton. Lady Ashley. Brett smiled at Bill. I say Im just back. Havent bathed even. Michael comes in to-night. Good. Come on and eat with us, and well all go to meet him. Must clean myself. Oh, rot! Come on. Must bathe. He doesnt get in till nine. Come and have a drink, then, before you bathe. Might do that. Now youre not talking rot. We got in the taxi. The driver looked around. Stop at the nearest bistro, I said. We might as well go to the Closerie, Brett said. I cant drink these rotten brandies. Closerie des Lilas. Brett turned to Bill. Have you been in this pestilential city long? Just got in to-day from Budapest. How was Budapest? Wonderful. Budapest was wonderful. Ask him about Vienna. Vienna, said Bill, is a strange city. Very much like Paris, Brett smiled at him, wrinkling the corners of her eyes. Exactly, Bill said. Very much like Paris at this moment.
