panion)
/ used to live in the vicinity of the
old Queens Head in Lambeth. Lon
don had been my stamping ground
since l was a baby.
The Queens Head was a "pub."
There was a cab stand nearby and an
old character they called Rummy
Blnks was n of the landmarks. He
had a dubious nose, a crippled, rheu-
matte body, a swollen and distorted
pair of feet. and the most extraordi-
nary pair of trousers l ever saw. He
must have got them from a giant,
and he was a little man.
When l saw Rummy shuttle his way
aross the pavement to hold a cab
mans horse for a penny tip, l was
fascinated. The walk was so funny
to me that / initiated it. When l
showed my mother how Rummy walk
she begged me stop, because it
was cruel to initiate a misfortune like
that. But while she pleaded she had
her apron stuffed in her mouth. Then
she went into the pantry and giggled
for 10 minutes.
Day after day I cultivated that walk.
1t became an obsession. Whenever /
pulled it, / was sure of a laugh.
Now, no matter what else l may do
that is amusing, l can never get away
from that walk.
Not long ago | went on in a New
York theater to say a few words. l
was in orthodox evening dress. The
audience behaved as though it was
tongue-tied. So did I. l began to
get uncomfortable. The occasion was
too solemn for words. l quit talking
and Selling an inspiration l shuffled
the stage with my tRummy walk.
The roar that broke loose in the house
amazed me. l had to shuttle back
and then shuttle off again. Then l
had to shuttle on again and talk. and
every word l said drew a roar of
laughter, simply because of the shut
file.
