Chapter XIII
THE MANTLE OF SANDY THE GREAT "Vincent," says I, as I blows in through the brass gate from lunch, "who's the poddy old party you got parked on the bench out in the anteroom?" "He's waiting to see Mr. Ellins," says Vincent. "This is his third try. Looks to me like some up-state stockholder who wants to know when Corrugated common will strike 110." "Well, that wouldn't be my guess exactly," says I.
