,- Mitchell playfully tapping Sullivan
Much talking was done, and the
intervals lsOfconversatiOn were usually
followed with a smack! smack! and
a rush, Mitchell each time getting
away laughing.
Sullivan did not relish some Of
Mitchell's hits, but was gracious
enough to acknowledge them with
such remarks as "That's good one,
Charlie" and 50 on, Sullivan's right
eye getting in mourning, and his lips
swelling, while the bump on Mitch
ellis forehead had become redder and

latter. Sullivan's nose and lips
trickled carmine. He would not
have his mOustache removed.

ed to plant one until Sullivan hit J.

managed to get away. There was n
