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.
