Loafed in the lobby with all of the swells. Rose at eleven an' hung around late. Just for an outin' it maybe will do—- Never for me for a regular thing. I belong up where the weather is blue. I belong up where the little birds sing. I've got a shanty—I'll tell you of that: You may not think it much of a dump. Under a pine tree it sits on a flat. For the foundation one corner a stump.
