The man who stood next in line
behind the lady pushed bill through
the window and asked for a ticket
to Clintondale but the agent advised
him to so without a ticket unless he
intended to wait for the next train.
The lire melted away and the lean
pes&imist turned at the door to make
disasreaable remark about the small
regard that some women had for the
rights of other people.
