Frases musicales balanceándose locamente. Notas que había tocado cayendo unas sobre otras como un puñado de canicas escaleras abajo.

Biff.. What he had said to Alice was true - he did like freaks. He had a special friendly feeling for sick people and cripples. Whenever somebody with a harelip or TB came into the place he would set him up to beer. Or if the customer were a hunchback or a bad cripple, then it would be whisky in the house.
