Slick Philly pulls out a chair for Miss Barky at their table by the balcony in the Tavern. The morning sun was shining on the water, like a million crystals dancing the Charleston. Slim says "Miss Barky, would you know of a song called "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans"? It was such a sad song...I wondered if a smart, well-bred lady like yourself possible had heard of it?" Slick turned and called for the menu. As he did, he saw a young boy-man walk by...
That's one queer beard, he thought.
