I
'm
surprised
at
you
.
But
while
I
'm
out
you
just
try
to
figure
out
what
ginger-cake
potentate
would
be
most
likely
to
want
to
buy
this
work
of
art
for
his
private
collection
--
just
to
keep
it
out
of
circulation
.
"
The
sunset
was
reddening
the
tops
of
the
cocoanut
palms
when
Billy
Keogh
came
back
from
Casa
Morena
.
He
nodded
to
the
artist
's
questioning
gaze
;
and
lay
down
on
a
cot
with
his
hands
under
the
back
of
his
head
.
"
I
saw
him
.
He
paid
the
money
like
a
little
man
.
They
did
n't
want
to
let
me
in
at
first
.
I
told
'em
it
was
important
.
Yes
,
that
president
man
is
on
the
plentyable
list
.
He
's
got
a
beautiful
business
system
about
the
way
he
uses
his
brains
.
All
I
had
to
do
was
to
hold
up
the
photograph
so
he
could
see
it
,
and
name
the
price
.
He
just
smiled
,
and
walked
over
to
a
safe
and
got
the
cash
.
Twenty
one-thousand-dollar
brand-new
United
States
Treasury
notes
he
laid
on
the
table
,
like
I
'd
pay
out
a
dollar
and
a
quarter
.
Fine
notes
,
too
--
they
crackled
with
a
sound
like
burning
the
brush
off
a
ten-acre
lot
.
"
"
Let
's
try
the
feel
of
one
,
"
said
White
,
curiously
.
"
I
never
saw
a
thousand-dollar
bill
.
"
Keogh
did
not
immediately
respond
.
"
Carry
,
"
he
said
,
in
an
absent-minded
way
,
"
you
think
a
heap
of
your
art
,
do
n't
you
?
"
"
More
,
"
said
White
,
frankly
,
"
than
has
been
for
the
financial
good
of
myself
and
my
friends
.
"
"
I
thought
you
were
a
fool
the
other
day
,
"
went
on
Keogh
,
quietly
,
"
and
I
'm
not
sure
now
that
you
was
n't
.
But
if
you
was
,
so
am
I
I
've
been
in
some
funny
deals
,
Carry
,
but
I
've
always
managed
to
scramble
fair
,
and
match
my
brains
and
capital
against
the
other
fellow
's
.
But
when
it
comes
to
--
well
,
when
you
've
got
the
other
fellow
cinched
,
and
the
screws
on
him
,
and
he
's
got
to
put
up
--
why
,
it
do
n't
strike
me
as
being
a
man
's
game
.
They
've
got
a
name
for
it
,
you
know
;
it
's
--
confound
you
,
do
n't
you
understand
?
A
fellow
feels
--
it
's
something
like
that
blamed
art
of
yours
--
he
--
well
,
I
tore
that
photograph
up
and
laid
the
pieces
on
that
stack
of
money
and
shoved
the
whole
business
back
across
the
table
.
'
Excuse
me
,
Mr.
Losada
,
'
I
said
,
'
but
I
guess
I
've
made
a
mistake
in
the
price
.
You
get
the
photo
for
nothing
.
'
Now
,
Carry
,
you
get
out
the
pencil
,
and
we
'll
do
some
more
figuring
.
I
'd
like
to
save
enough
out
of
our
capital
for
you
to
have
some
fried
sausages
in
your
joint
when
you
get
back
to
New
York
.
"
There
is
little
consecutiveness
along
the
Spanish
Main
.
Things
happen
there
intermittently
.
Even
Time
seems
to
hang
his
scythe
daily
on
the
branch
of
an
orange
tree
while
he
takes
a
siesta
and
a
cigarette
.
After
the
ineffectual
revolt
against
the
administration
of
President
Losada
,
the
country
settled
again
into
quiet
toleration
of
the
abuses
with
which
he
had
been
charged
.
In
Coralio
old
political
enemies
went
arm-inarm
,
lightly
eschewing
for
the
time
all
differences
of
opinion
.
