Chapter One
An Invitation To The Bluff
I met Michael at college, where I was busy spending more
dollars than I like to think about learning that a Shakespeare
is found once in many centuries, and Michael was busy spend
ing more than that learning to wear my suits and shirts. After
ward we drifted together into a small apartment on West 80th
street and I settled down to writing bad fiction while he mas
sacred time in his own fashion.
This story proper begins on the February morning when the
Skipper's note arrived. We were at breakfast, and the prospect
of a fourth consecutive rainy day had lent the finishing touch
to the excellent grouch I had been nursing for a week. Due U a
long-awaited birthday check from his aunts, Michael's spirits
were soaring.

the toast tray My response wa brief
and to the point 1 glanced morosely
at th envelope labeled In Miss Har
rington's careful hand and added,
"There's a note. Aren't you going to
read It?"
"You would," said Michael sadly.
"Don't miss anything. Sometime
when you Damn It!"
Hit (an fell sufficiently (or my
satisfaction So I retched (or the note.
"Dear Michael," tt read "Sine. It

"Well?" I said.
"Well, yourself!" he exploded. "Of

The second note was in the Skip

To get back to th. story, 1 was fond
of th Skipper. Having no aunts of my
own, 1 had mora or lesa adopted
Michael's.
Martha Farrlngton was small, stout
and prudish or at least as nearly so
as her over-developed sens, of breed

that she presided over his cradl. with

armed with an exceedingly eligible

square, even mannish In ppearanc.
and possessed of a deep musical voice
and a pair of traglo looking dark

Mike all h. knew about sailing and
fishing, and spent her time diverting
th. attention of her sister's Marly
choice from his luckless head. Yea,
1 waa extraordinarily fond of th
Skipper.

"Listen to that." growled MlchaeL
"Enough to make anyone sick. And
when I tried to talk her into going

I didn't point out thit th. Skipper

at nur watch and observed, "If w
