told the lad not to t6ll me but
80 much 'cause he would see
his utterances in print. He
didn’t seem to heed my warn

One night when I was sitting
in the Inn, she came in laying
on me a lot of stuff about some
argument she had with her
husband and telling me how
she needed some moral support.
I was fairly respectful to her
