"I've stood about all of this I can," said Pearl, as she tried to get up from the table.
"Do you want to go home, honey?" asked Evelyn.
"Home or anywhere, but I've got to come out of this—I've been drinking too much—I'll go nuts if I don't get out of it for a while."
"O. K. dear, I'll take you home," said Evelyn, staggering to her feet.
"Do you think you can manage it all right without me?" asked Mickey.
"Sure—I can get Pearl home all right, but ain't you had enough yet?"
"I've had plenty to drink, but I haven't got all the money I can use yet."
"Well, how much have you got?" asked Evelyn.
"I don't know, but I've sure been going through these lice. I've got as much as I dare put in my stockings, and I got wads in my waist, and some pinned in my step-ins."
"Well, we'll be seeing you,—come on, Pearl—give me your arm—we'll make it some-how," as they staggered toward the door.
