STRAINED RELATIONS

"But that won't make any
difference to me. Ha-ha 7"
"What's her husband
do?"
Drives a cab, same as
you," he says. i.
l keep awfully quiet and
tend to my driving. just
then, too, / remember that
my wife says about not get
ting home too early. It's
beginning to look bad, and
I'm trying to make up my
mind what to do. Then
this guy says: .
81 sure hate to put one
over on this husband, but
/ can't afford to disappolnt
my old friend"
I take a couple of corners
so fast that this guy is pre-
vented for the moment from
continuing. Then when we
get a clear way ahead, !
step on her tail, and / guess
whatever he had to say he
must have clean forgot. We
get up to the place in jig
time, and when I opens the
door I find this guy a little
white around the gills.
Geo. he says, "the way
you took them last few
blocks, you'd think I'd done
you some personal injury. I
wouldn't of given you a
dime for my chances there
, once
l looks at the clock.
"That'll be = . I" l
starts, but he butts in.
Here, take it, my good
man, and keep it all. You
got me up here in good time,
anyway, and time S what I
need" He slips a five spot
into my mitt and beats it
for the building.
Pretty soon I wake up and
find myself standing in the
same spot and holding the
five. You can well imagine
what I was thinking, and of
course, the big question was
whether I should go up now
and wiring this guys neck,
or wait a while.
| decides to wait, and be-
fore l know it, I'm on my
way up to the apartment.
| gets in the door about
three or four minutes after
this guy, and | find him
right in the middle of the
living room with his arms
about my wife's neck. I
could see him from the hall,
and I grabs the umbrella
stand on my way through.
1 guess l must of hit the
room like a cyclone. Both
of them makes a dive for
the bedroom door.
Mary just stands there,
though. Her face is kind of
pale. While I'm trying to
decide what to dol know
this guy can't get out
through the bedroom, Mary
pipes up:
bill! Amt you ashamed
of yourself, busting in this
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-05-20

Well, / didn't think much
of this for most Of the rest
of the day. Mary'd say
funny things like that some
times, without any reason at
all to them.
Along about 4 O'Clock IN
the afternoon I was cruising
around F Street and decided
all of a sudden, for no rea-
SON at all, that I'd try the
Union Station. Usually l
keep away from the stations,
because you got to haul a
lot of bags and things, and
you don't get nothing for it.
But anyway, l goes into
the station with the bus and
| pick up a fare that's
headed for Mt. Pleasant.
Lucky break for me, l
thinks.
This guy gets in and says,
"Drive me up in the general
direction of Mt. Pleasant,
mister. "
l says, That's a big
place, Teller. Whereabouts
in Mt. Pleasant do you want
to got"
So he gives me a number.
And would you believe it,
it's my own address! But
l don't say nothing. This
guy seems like a wise guy,
and, l don't care to talk to
him.
Pretty soon, though, he
opens the window in back
Of me and starts a converse
ton. Then he offers me a
cigarette, and he turns out
to be OK. after all. Finally
he gets around to talking
about women, and he makes
q crack like this:
"Iu bet you cab drivers
pick up a lot Of flirtatious
women, ehi"
"Well," I says finally, 81
got a wife and kid, and I
amt got much time to fool
around like that.
We ride on a few blocks
in silence, and then he says )
"I'm the lucky guy,
though. Here l just pop
into town and I'm going
right up to see my sweetie. !"
"WifeG" says I.
Naw," says he. "Girl l
used to play around with
back home. She's married
now, but I been writing to
her and she tells me to
drop up and see her any
day I'm in Washington. She
says her husband works dur
ing the day, and to get up
before six, So yesterday I
wires her, and today I'm on
my way up. Hot dawg!"
| don't say nothing for a
while. / can see this guy
through the mirror, and he
seems to be having a great
time telling me all this.
Finally l says:
"This woman's married,
huh7"
"Yeah." says this bozo.
