“I played a pretty good trick on you last night.”
“Odd I didn’t know it.”
“That’s why it was good. You’d never guess it in the world.”
“No, I believe I shouldn’t. You see what makes it so hard, Hedrick, is that I can’t even remember seeing you, last night.”
“Nobody saw me. Somebody heard me though, all right.”
“Who?”
“The nigger that works at your mother’s—Joe.”
“What about it? Were you teasing Joe?”
“No, it was you I was after.”
“Well? Did you get me?”
