Ito be carrying on with common chauffeur
why, he's nothing but a" and I can't put
that down. what he called me.
Nobody knows how mad I was and all the
time trying hard to be calm and think straight
but it's hard to. 1 didn't know much about
divorces and alimony and things, but I was
thinking he might be able to cause Estelle some
trouble with the help of lying maids like Olive
who had worked for Estelle when first come,
who might say anything for money or for
Jimmie maybe both.
But I thing very clear I'd better
leave and not cause anybody any trouble or
embarrassment. I could understand why Jimmy
was thinking things, but he couldn't call me
that and get away with it, So I said Jimmy
you've been nice to me and I can't forget it. but
you can't call me that. Estelle don't need ne
to defend her She needs defense a sight less
than you do maybe, if the truth was known
You claim to be gentleman, but I didn't know
a gentleman would believe maids talk before
he heard what his wife had to say And if you
want to know why Olive talks that way III tell
you privately. guess you don't know yet, how
mean and tricky some maids can be- As for
that bill think Estelle did mean to pay it, but
paid it myself" and took my receipt out and
made him look at it.
Now" I said, I'm leaving here tonight, so
don't let that worry you any more There's lust
one thing for you to say and I'll 60"
Il take it back he said but not like he
meant 1T thought, and I thanked EsteIIe for
being good to me, and took my hat and found
the door and left, and Lily came running after
me with my overcoat and grabbed an umbrella
and made me take it, because it was raining
but forgot had it.
And I didn't know where was going and the
cop thought was drunk when he said Better
move along or grab cab" I told him to 60
Jump In the river, which is something not to
tell cop In New York. Then he got mad and
started to use his stick, but didn't because I
fret md
helped him up.
HAT woke me up a little, and didn't care
to wander around in the rain any more so
went into big hotel before remembered it
was where Bert stays when he's in town.
told the clerk I wanted room for a night
or two and took out some money
I'm sorry" he said, "but we have no accom-
modations." I knew I looked bad being wet
and all, but also knew he was living.
Don't kid me-" said, Il want room, and
big one too with nice bath"
Murphy" he said would you mind showing
the gentleman to the door?" Nearby stood
Murphy, the house detective
The mistake Murphy made was to grip INV
arm and OF course knocked him down Iayinp
his hands on me-
Then there stood Bert
What does this mean?" he said Whats
the trouble, Glenn"
mo trouble" I said, Il just want a room
where I can be alone, but this guy tried to
throw me out"
II this boy" Bert said, turning to the clerk
wants whole floor give it to him and give it
70 him quick" I guess Bert just about owns
the place like he does lot of places
Well, 1 went to bed but couldn't sleep much
and sometimes kept wishing I'd never met
her SO as not to feel so miserable but the next
second I know I'd feel more miserable If T
didn't know her, which shows how love mixes
things up but opens your eyes to the difference
between women like the difference between
Carol and Sadie back in Pittsburgh, or Bertha
or Winnie and different women. Because some
now there's more difference between women
than between men which maybe Is one reason
why men like men more than women ME-
women. Besides, man can like another man
even II he knows all the other mans faultx
ous woman don't warm up to another woman
real warm unless she thinks she's perfect And
OF course the warm friendship is soon busted
up, you've discovered one of your dear friends
faults after which you soon discover all her
others and sometimes more
But with Carol it's different When think
ABOUT her as I always do there isn't a thing
l can see that's wrong. It's like had on
