firm. He took my order without showing me any leather and I could feel his eyes penetrating the
inferior covering of my foot. At last he said “ dose are nod my boods”
The tone was not one of anger, nor of sorrow, not even of contempt, but there was in it something
quiet that froze the blood. He put his hand down and pressed a finger on the place where the left
boot was not quite comfortable.“ID Urds you dere”,he said “dose big virms” have not self respect.And then as if something had
given way within him,he spoke long and bitterly.It was the only time ever heard him discuss the
