Miss Minna Meyer, snug to her
literal teeth in gray wool Jacket
and a gray wool muffler wound high
and revealing only her eyes and her
high-pitched cheek bones, turned in
her swaddlings toward Mrs Kessler,
her voice percolating through wool.

"Sciatic pleurisy, Mr.. CAM. I'm a

"A general in the army, tell you,

With her full back turned to the

to 1t, Miss Kessler swayed suddenly
farther from the group.

Into the flare of three arc-lights, a

And it's sweet to dream of Venice, and
