He got out of bed and looked at
himself in the long mirror on the
wardrobe door. He wasn't pretty. The
old-time lean cheeks were gone. These
were heavy, seeming to hang down by
their own weight. He looked for the
lines Of cruelty Dede had spoken OF,
and he found them, and he found the
harshness In the eyes as well, the
ayes that were muddy now after all
the cocktails Of the night before, and
81 the months and years before. He
looked at the clearly defined pouches
that showed under his eyes, and they
shocked him. He rolled up the sleeve
of his pajamas. No wonder the ham,
mer-thrower had put his hand down.
Those weren't muscles. A rising tide
Of fat had submerged them. He
stripped off the pajama coat. Again
he was shocked. this time by the bulk
Of his body. 1t wasn't pretty. The
lean stomach had become a paunch.
The rigid muscles OF chest and shout
ders and abdomen had broken down
into rolls of flesh. And this was age.
