"It's all in the point of view," said Jimmy.
"Yes," said the Lizard. "It's all in the point of view, and my point of view ain't
warped by no college education."
Jimmy grinned. "Eventually, Lizard, you may win me over; but when you do why
fritter away our abilities upon this simple village when we have the capitals of all
Europe to play around in?"
"
There's something in that," said the Lizard; "but don't get it into your head for a
minute that I am tryin' to drag you from the straight and narrow. I think I like
you better the way you are."
"
Did you ever," said Harriet Holden, "see anything so weird as the way we keep
bumping into that stocking-counter young man?"
"No," said Elizabeth, "it's commencing to get on my nerves. Every time I turn a
corner now I expect to bump into him. I suppose we see other people many times
without recognizing them, but he is so utterly good-looking that he sort of sticks
in one's memory."
"Do you know," said Harriet, "that I have a suspicion that he recognized us. I saw
him looking up at us just after that other person knocked him down and I could
have sworn that he blushed. And then, you know, he went in and was entirely
different from what he had been in the two preceding rounds. Billy said that he is
really a wonderful fighter, and there are not very many good fights that Billy
misses. What in the world do you suppose his profession is anyway? Since we
first noticed him he has been a hosiery clerk, a waiter, and a prize-fighter."
