'Love is a dunghill/ said Harry. 'And I'm the cock that gets on it to crow.'

 

'I don't know,' he said. She looked at him and put out her hand. Toor old Phil/ she said. He looked at her hands, but he did not touch her hand with his.

 

That night I had dinner at Fontan's. We ate in the dining-room and there was a clean tablecloth. We tried the new wine. It was very light and clear and good, and still tasted of the grapes. At the table there were Fontan and Madame and the little boy, Andre.

 

rich.' He grinned. 'I am a good gambler, really I would enjoy being rich.'

 

There wasn't time, of course, although it seemed as though it telescoped so that you might put it all into one paragraph if you could get it right.

 

“If you like,” Brett said. “I couldn’t eat a thing.”

 

“That’s the thing to do. Live out in the country and have a little car.”

 

I swung at him and he ducked. I saw his face duck sideways in the light. He hit me and I sat down on the pavement. As I started to get on my feet he hit me twice. I went down backward under a table. I tried to get up and felt I did not have any legs. I felt I must get on my feet and try and hit him. Mike helped me up. Some one poured a carafe of water on my head. Mike had an arm around me, and I found I was sitting on a chair. Mike was pulling at my ears.

Now he knew there was the fish and his hands and back were no dream. The hands cure quickly, he thought. I bled them clean and the salt water will heal them. The dark water of the true gulf is the greatest healer that there is. All I must do is keep the head clear. The hands have done their work and we sail well. With his mouth shut and his tail straight up and down we sail like brothers. Then his head started to become a little unclear and he thought, is he bringing me in or am I bringing him in? If I were towing him behind there would be no question. Nor if the fish were in the skiff, with all dignity gone, there would be no question either. But they were sailing together lashed side by side and the old man thought, let him bring me in if it pleases him. I am only better than him through trickery and he meant me no harm.
