Ulysses


                                     The spirit moving him he would much have liked to
                                  follow Jack Tar’s good example and leave the likeness
                                  there for a very few minutes to speak for itself on the plea
                                  he so that the other could drink in the beauty for himself,

                                  her stage presence being, frankly, a treat in itself which the
                                  camera could not at all do justice to. But it was scarcely
                                  professional etiquette so. Though it was a warm pleasant
                                  sort of a night now yet wonderfully cool for the season
                                  considering, for sunshine after storm. And he did feel a
                                  kind of need there and then to follow suit like a kind of
                                  inward voice and satisfy a possible need by moving a
                                  motion. Nevertheless he sat tight just viewing the slightly
                                  soiled photo creased by opulent curves, none the worse
                                  for wear however, and looked away thoughtfully with the
                                  intention of not further increasing the other’s possible
                                  embarrassment while gauging her symmetry of heaving
                                  embonpoint. In fact the slight soiling was only an added
                                  charm like the case of linen slightly soiled, good as new,
                                  much better in fact with the starch out. Suppose she was
                                  gone when he? I looked for the lamp which she told me
                                  came into his mind but merely as a passing fancy of his
                                  because he then recollected the morning littered bed
                                  etcetera and the book about Ruby with met him pike
                                  hoses (sic) in it which must have fell down sufficiently
