"Have I? I've been doing some heavy drinking myself--I don't even remember it. Sure, we'll go over there as soon as we give her some coffee." "Let's take her into the bathroom, and strip her in there, and then put her to bed," said Pearl, as she opened the door for them to enter. They took Evelyn in to the bathroom, the driver holding her up while Pearl and Mickey stripped her, clean to the skin; then the bellboy arrived with the coffee. "Wait a minute--I'll get a night-gown for her, and then we will put her in bed, and pour some of this hot stuff down her gullet. O. K., driver, bring her in." He picked her up, and bringing her into the room, laid her down, holding her head up, as he took the cup out of Pearl's hand, and holding it to Evelyn's lips, while the hot liquid brought moans and groans from Evelyn--Pearl and Mickey stood by to help. "Now, let's cover her up, and leave her alone to sleep--she will be all right when we get back from the cafe." Pearl turned the lights out, and down they went, leaving Ev behind for the first time since they had met. "Jees," said Pearl, "I feel lost without her--she is sure some regular scout." As they got into the car that had brought them from the bridge--"To the States, driver." When they arrived at the States Cafe, the height of the hilarity for the evening had passed, for the less noisy crowd had settled down to black coffee and food, to try and kill off some of the liquor. Harry was sitting in a booth all alone, near the door, eating a sandwich, as they came in. He did not notice them until Pearl walked over to his table. "Hello, darling," as she sat down. "Ah, gee, I'm glad you came--I've been waiting a long time. I'd begun to think you were going to stand me up," smiled Harry, with gladness beaming from his face. "Pearl, you and Harry excuse me--I'll see you later," said Mickey, as she went towards the rear of the place to join a crowd of people she seemed to know. "I haven't had much chance to talk to you about last night, when that awful thing happened. Evelyn and Mickey rushed right out over me, and I didn't know what had become of you, Harry. Did you get over the river all right?" "No, I stayed on that side, at Dan's Hotel--they know me. You see, lots of nights when I don't make the bridge, I stay over there. It's not bad, really, but last night was a little unusual. When I couldn't find you, I had a hunch that Evelyn had gotten you clear of the place, and when I heard that some women had waded the river I knew that you were safe, because that's one of Evelyn's pet tricks. No matter if the bridge is open or closed, and Evelyn thinks that she had better get across that border, she goes for the river, and she has always been lucky--they have never been able to catch her. Boy, Oh boy--what a woman," laughed Harry. "Oh, Harry, you should see my new apartment--it's just grand." "You said you have moved tonight--but I don't think you told me where." "To the Hussman."
