and
intellectual
Punch
and

show

DE
GRAFFENREID
ATWOOD
,

S.
Consul
at
Coralio
.
P.S.
--
Hello
!
Uncle
Obadiah
.
How
's
the
old
burg
racking
along
?
What
would
the
government
do
without
you
and
me
?
Look
out
for
a
green-headed
parrot
and
a
bunch
of
bananas
soon
,
from
your
old
friend
JOHNNY
.

"
I
throw
in
that
postscript
,
"
explained
the
consul
,
"
so
Uncle
Obadiah
wo
n't
take
offence
at
the
official
tone
of
the
letter
!
Now
,
Billy
,
you
get
that
correspondence
fixed
up
,
and
send
Pancho
to
the
post-office
with
it
.
The
Ariadne
takes
the
mail
out
tomorrow
if
they
make
up
that
load
of
fruit
today
.

The
night
programme
in
Coralio
never
varied
.
The
recreations
of
the
people
were
soporific
and
flat
.
They
wandered
about
,
barefoot
and
aimless
,
speaking
lowly
and
smoking
cigar
or
cigarette
.
Looking
down
on
the
dimly
lighted
ways
one
seemed
to
see
a
threading
maze
of
brunette
ghosts
tangled
with
a
procession
of
insane
fireflies
.
In
some
houses
the
thrumming
of
lugubrious
guitars
added
to
the
depression
of
the
triste
night
.
Giant
tree-frogs
rattled
in
the
foliage
as
loudly
as
the
end
man
's
"
bones
"
in
a
minstrel
troupe
.
By
nine
o'clock
the
streets
were
almost
deserted
.
Nor
at
the
consulate
was
there
often
a
change
of
bill
.
Keogh
would
come
there
nightly
,
for
Coralio
's
one
cool
place
was
the
little
seaward
porch
of
that
official
residence
.
