the rose tint. The rose tint was just the color that she used but it was almost as smooth as a Chinese girlˇs. There was this lovely face looking down the bar at him, lovelier all the time as he came closer. Then he was beside her and there was the big body and the rose color was artificial now and there was no mystery about any of it, although it was still a lovely face.
¨You look beautiful, Honest,〃 he said to her.
¨Oh, Tom, I am so big now. I am ashamed.〃
He put his hand on her great haunches and said, ¨Youˇre a nice big.〃
¨Iˇm ashamed to walk down the bar.〃
¨You do it beautifully. Like a ship.〃
¨How is our friend?〃
¨Heˇs fine.〃
¨When am I going to see him?〃
¨Any time. Now?〃
¨Oh no. Tom, what was Willie talking about? The part I couldnˇt understand?〃
¨He was just being crazy.〃
¨No, he wasnˇt. It was about you and a sorrow Was it about you and your se?ora.〃
¨No. ######## my se?ora.〃
¨I wish you could. But you canˇt when she is away.〃
¨Yeah. I found that out.〃
¨What is the sorrow, then?〃
¨Nothing. Just a sorrow.〃
¨Tell me about it. Please.〃
¨Thereˇs nothing to tell.〃
¨You can tell me, you know. Henry tells me about his sorrows and cries in the night. Willie tells me dreadful things. They are not sorrows, so much as terrible things. You can tell me. Everyone tells me. Only you donˇt tell me.〃
¨Telling never did me any good. Telling is worse for me than not telling.〃

¨I know. What about the sandwich?〃
¨Iˇm not hungry just yet.〃
¨Do you want another drink?〃
¨Yes. Please,

¨Yes. Itˇs true.〃
¨I think itˇs dreadful.〃
¨No. Itˇs not. Iˇm in love with the cat,
