- Desperado Mastermindhas quoted3 years ago"Papa," Mary said, and got up and kissed him. He turned with her towards her mother. "Mama?" she said in a pinched, almost crying voice, and they embraced.

- Desperado Mastermindhas quoted3 years agoBefore long the city thinned out into the darkened evidences of that kind of flea-bitten semi-rurality which always peculiarly depressed him: mean little homes, and others inexplicably new and substantial, set too close together for any satisfying rural privacy or use, too far, too shapelessly apart to have adherence as any kind of community; mean little pieces of ill-cultivated land behind them, and alongside the road, between them, trash and slash and broken sheds and rained-out billboards: he passed a late, late streetcar, no passengers aboard, far out near the end of its run.
Вскоре город превратился в потемневшие свидетельства того вида укушенной блохами полу-сельской местности, которая всегда особенно угнетала его: убогие маленькие дома и другие, необъяснимо новые и солидные, расположенные слишком близко друг к другу для любого удовлетворительного уединения или использования в сельской местности, слишком далеко, слишком бесформенно друг от друга, чтобы иметь какое-либо сообщество; маленькие кусочки плохо обработанной земли позади них и вдоль дороги, между ними, мусор и порезы, сломанные сараи и вываленные рекламные щиты: он прошел поздний, поздний трамвай, без пассажиров на борту, далеко ближе к концу его пробега.
