第133章（1 / 1）
No--nothing of the sort.You get yourself all worked up and excited about that blanket,and then all of a sudden, just when a happy climax seemsimminent you are let down flat--nothing saved but the girl.Whereas, one is not interested in the girl; she is notthe prominent feature of the legend. Nevertheless, there youare left, and there you must remain; for if you livea thousand years you will never know who got the blanket.A dead man could get up a better legend than this one.I don't mean a fresh dead man either; I mean a man that's been deadweeks and weeks.
We struck the home-trail now, and in a few hours were in thatastonishing Chicago--a city where they are always rubbing the lamp,and fetching up the genii, and contriving and achieving new impossibilities.It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago--she outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them.She is always a novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when youpassed through the last time. The Pennsylvania road rushed us to NewYork without missing schedule time ten minutes anywhere on the route;and there ended one of the most enjoyable five-thousand-mile journeys I haveever had the good fortune to make.XFIR驗MZ
