exasperating character bitterly sarcastic and

lated the giant described and his .ck nearly cost

Two three weeks had apsed. The incident
had been forgotten by all Others but the subject of

to manifest his resentment forensically. Then he
lapsed into liquor and started out insane quest
OF the venerable Senator with the avowed purpose
