There's Robert Moreton, too. He begins to look like a dope fiend. I don't know whether he is or not, but he looks it.

And yet, when I go to the post office, store, or the superintendent's office, or the head clerk's house, or the curio store to get some mosquito dope to rub on myself, they ain't got no mosquito dope; but for four dollars you can buy a lovely leather pillow with 'Mother' on it.
