6488. HANDSOME MAN

HANDSOME MAN
The tremblance of dyspepsia makes this
man tremble here like a leaf. He stutters to
beat the band, and his hands shake so that
his cup of coffee spills over its sides. What
else can I say, he's a handsome man? It's not
my place to notice, understand.
-
He came from the west-land, or Westland,
proper noun. I never got it straight, some other
place I've never been nor cared to. 'One thousand 
four hundred and twenty two miles away,' he said;
and it took him about that many minutes to get the
words out. man I was getting restless.
