some. too. Then there are them mis-
behavin' eyes. Also. when it comes
to light and frivolous chat Mirabelle
is right there with the zippy patter.
Oh, my, yes! Try shootin' anything
fresh across when she's wrappin' q
pound of mixed chocolates and you'll
get a quick one back from Mirabelle.
Probably a quizzin', twisty smile, too.
that sends you off kiddin' yourself
that you're quite a gay bird when
you really cut loose. and where's the
harm once in while. You know the
kind.
But to think that Vincent should be
fallin' for Mirabelle. Why, he sits
there all day behind the gate in plain
sight Of a battery of twenty lady
typists. some of 'em as kittenish
young things as ever blew weeks
salary into a permanent wave. and
I've never even seen him SO much as
roll an eye at one. Besides. he's as
perfect a specimen Of a mommers
boy as you could find between here
and the Battery. Not that he's male
ingenue. He's Just a nice boy. Vim
cent, always neat and polite and
ready to admit that he has the best
little mother in the world. I don't
blame him for thinkin' SO. either. for
I've seen her a couple of times and If
I'm any Judge she fits the description.
She's q widow. you know. and she and
Vincent are strugglin' along on the
life insurance until they make Vim
cent general manager or vice presi-
dent or something.
So. as was telling you, it gives me
more or less of a jolt to see Vincent
futterin' around Mirabelle. There's
no mistakin' the motions, either. He's
draped himself careless over the end
Of the counter and them big. innocent
eyes Of his are fairly glued on Mira
belle, while q simple smile comes and
goes, dependin' on whether she's look
in his way or not. Just as stops to
gawp at the proceedin's he seems to
be askin' her something. real eager
and earnest. For q second Mirabelle
arches her plucked eyebrows and
Fuckers her lips coy as il she was let
tin on to be shocked. Then she
glances around cautious to see If the
coast is clear. reaches out and pats
Vincent tender on the cheek and
whispers somethin' In his ear.
A minute later Mirabelle is smilin'
mechanical at fat man who's
stopped to buy box Of chocolate e
peppermints and Vincent Is swingin'
past me with his chin up and his eyes
bright. 1t don't take any seventh son
work to guess that Vincent has made
q date. II 1t had been anybody else
that wouldn't have meant anything
at all to me, but as 1t is. can't help
feelin' that this was my cue. Just
how or why don't stop to figure out,
but I falls in behind and trails along.
Vincent should have been headin'
for the dairy lunch. but he starts in
the other direction and after followin'
him for Ave blocks sees him dive
into q jewelry store. Maybe that
don't get gasp out of me. too Look s
like our little Vincent was some
speedy performer. don't it? And sure
enough. by rubberin' In through the

The only question which is left as
