Opis

One evening in May, 1888, the Cafe des Ecoles was even more crowded and more noisy than usual. The marble-topped tables were wet with beer and the din was appalling. Someone shouted to make himself heard. Any more news from the Salon?'' Yes, '' said Elliott, Thaxton's in with a number three. Rhodes is out and takes it hard. Clifford's out too, and takes it -- '' A voice began to chant: Je n'sais comment faire, Comment concillier Ma maitresse et mon pere, Le Code et Bullier. Drop it Oh, drop it '' growled Rhodes, and sent a handful of billiard chalk at the singer."
