“
That
’
s
entirely
too
sweet
for
a
thirsty
man
,
”
she
said
.
She
poured
out
half
the
mixture
,
and
refilling
the
glass
,
tasted
it
a
second
time
.
She
submitted
that
result
to
the
attendant
.
“
Isn
’
t
that
about
the
thing
?
”
she
asked
.
He
replied
enthusiastically
.
“
I
’
d
get
my
wages
raised
ten
a
month
if
I
could
learn
that
trick
.
”
The
Angel
carried
the
brimming
,
frosty
glass
to
Freckles
.
He
removed
his
hat
,
and
lifting
the
icy
liquid
even
with
her
eyes
and
looking
straight
into
them
,
he
said
in
the
mellowest
of
all
the
mellow
tones
of
his
voice
:
“
I
’
ll
be
drinking
it
to
the
Swamp
Angel
.
”
As
he
had
said
to
her
that
first
day
,
she
now
cautioned
him
:
“
Be
drinking
slowly
.
”
When
the
screen
-
door
swung
behind
them
,
one
of
the
men
at
the
counter
asked
of
the
attendant
:
“
Now
,
what
did
that
mean
?
”
“
Exactly
what
you
saw
,
”
replied
he
,
rather
curtly
.
“
We
’
re
accustomed
to
it
here
.
Hardly
a
day
passes
,
this
hot
weather
,
but
she
’
s
picking
up
some
poor
,
god
-
forsaken
mortal
and
bringing
him
in
.
Then
she
comes
behind
the
counter
herself
and
fixes
up
a
drink
to
suit
the
occasion
.
She
’
s
all
sorts
of
fancies
about
what
’
s
what
for
all
kinds
of
times
and
conditions
,
and
you
bet
she
can
just
hit
the
spot
!
Ain
’
t
a
clerk
here
can
put
up
a
drink
to
touch
her
.
She
’
s
a
sort
of
knack
at
it
.
Every
once
in
a
while
,
when
the
Boss
sees
her
,
he
calls
out
to
her
to
mix
him
a
drink
.
”
“
And
does
she
?
”
asked
the
man
with
an
interested
grin
.
“
Well
,
I
guess
!
But
first
she
goes
back
and
sees
how
long
it
is
since
he
’
s
had
a
drink
.
What
he
drank
last
.
How
warm
he
is
.
When
he
ate
last
.
Then
she
comes
here
and
mixes
a
glass
of
fizz
with
a
little
touch
of
acid
,
and
a
bit
of
cherry
,
lemon
,
grape
,
pineapple
,
or
something
sour
and
cooling
,
and
it
hits
the
spot
just
as
no
spot
was
ever
hit
before
.
I
honestly
believe
that
the
INTEREST
she
takes
in
it
is
half
the
trick
,
for
I
watch
her
closely
and
I
can
’
t
come
within
gunshot
of
her
concoctions
.
