A.
--
Becoming
really
insincere
--
calling
myself
"
not
such
a
bad
fellow
,
"
thinking
I
regretted
my
lost
youth
when
I
only
envy
the
delights
of
losing
it
.
Youth
is
like
having
a
big
plate
of
candy
.
Sentimentalists
think
they
want
to
be
in
the
pure
,
simple
state
they
were
in
before
they
ate
the
candy
.
They
do
n't
.
They
just
want
the
fun
of
eating
it
all
over
again
.
The
matron
does
n't
want
to
repeat
her
girlhood
--
she
wants
to
repeat
her
honeymoon
.
I
do
n't
want
to
repeat
my
innocence
.
I
want
the
pleasure
of
losing
it
again
.
Q.
--
Where
are
you
drifting
?
This
dialogue
merged
grotesquely
into
his
mind
's
most
familiar
state
--
a
grotesque
blending
of
desires
,
worries
,
exterior
impressions
and
physical
reactions
.

One
Hundred
and
Twenty-seventh
Street
--
or
One
Hundred
and
Thirty-seventh
Street
...
Two
and
three
look
alike
--
no
,
not
much
.
Seat
damp
...
are
clothes
absorbing
wetness
from
seat
,
or
seat
absorbing
dryness
from
clothes
?
...
Sitting
on
wet
substance
gave
appendicitis
,
so
Froggy
Parker
's
mother
said
.
Well
,
he
'd
had
it
--
I
'll
sue
the
steamboat
company
,
Beatrice
said
,
and
my
uncle
has
a
quarter
interest
--
did
Beatrice
go
to
heaven
?
...
probably
not
--
He
represented
Beatrice
's
immortality
,
also
love-affairs
of
numerous
dead
men
who
surely
had
never
thought
of
him
...
if
it
was
n't
appendicitis
,
influenza
maybe
.
What
?
One
Hundred
and
Twentieth
Street
?
That
must
have
been
One
Hundred
and
Twelfth
back
there
.
One
O
Two
instead
of
One
Two
Seven
.
Rosalind
not
like
Beatrice
,
Eleanor
like
Beatrice
,
only
wilder
and
brainier
.
Apartments
along
here
expensive
--
probably
hundred
and
fifty
a
month
--
maybe
two
hundred
.
Uncle
had
only
paid
hundred
a
month
for
whole
great
big
house
in
Minneapolis
.
Question
--
were
the
stairs
on
the
left
or
right
as
you
came
in
?
Anyway
,
in
12
Univee
they
were
straight
back
and
to
the
left
.
What
a
dirty
river
--
want
to
go
down
there
and
see
if
it
's
dirty
--
French
rivers
all
brown
or
black
,
so
were
Southern
rivers
.
Twenty-four
dollars
meant
four
hundred
and
eighty
doughnuts
.
He
could
live
on
it
three
months
and
sleep
in
the
park
.
Wonder
where
Jill
was
--
Jill
Bayne
,
Fayne
,
Sayne
--
what
the
devil
--
neck
hurts
,
darned
uncomfortable
seat
.
No
desire
to
sleep
with
Jill
,
what
could
Alec
see
in
her
?
Alec
had
a
coarse
taste
in
women
.
Own
taste
the
best
;
Isabelle
,
Clara
,
Rosalind
,
Eleanor
,
were
all-American
.
Eleanor
would
pitch
,
probably
southpaw
.
Rosalind
was
outfield
,
wonderful
hitter
,
Clara
first
base
,
maybe
.
Wonder
what
Humbird
's
body
looked
like
now
.
If
he
himself
had
n't
been
bayonet
instructor
he
'd
have
gone
up
to
line
three
months
sooner
,
probably
been
killed
.
Where
's
the
darned
bell
--
The
street
numbers
of
Riverside
Drive
were
obscured
by
the
mist
and
dripping
trees
from
anything
but
the
swiftest
scrutiny
,
but
Amory
had
finally
caught
sight
of
one
--
One
Hundred
and
Twenty-seventh
Street
.
He
got
off
and
with
no
distinct
destination
followed
a
winding
,
descending
sidewalk
and
came
out
facing
the
river
,
in
particular
a
long
pier
and
a
partitioned
litter
of
shipyards
for
miniature
craft
:
small
launches
,
canoes
,
rowboats
,
and
catboats
.
He
turned
northward
and
followed
the
shore
,
jumped
a
small
wire
fence
and
found
himself
in
a
great
disorderly
yard
adjoining
a
dock
.
The
hulls
of
many
boats
in
various
stages
of
repair
were
around
him
;
he
smelled
sawdust
and
paint
and
the
scarcely
distinguishable
fiat
odor
of
the
Hudson
.
A
man
approached
through
the
heavy
gloom
.
