Gosh! Did somebody pin sign on your
back or somethin'?" Buck asks, looking me
over. But there wasn't anything there.
We went on ways and came on some
children playing in the middle of the street.
"Penny! Penny-penny!" they all start

something.

Maybe we did," says, "but they've
caught up with us again."
After we'd made our escape we started
looking for barber shop.
Now, if you don't know what to look for
over here you've got job on your hands
trying to find it. We went into alleys, back
doors, front doors and even landed up in a
cellar, but we failed to find barber shop.
Maybe they amt got such things in this

reading "Coifeur."
