By now the boy had begun suspecting strongly
that this wily old man had probably sold his gang down the river and had
squealed against them to the cops. As a reward for this unspeakable devilry
they had allowed him to disappear without a trace.
************
The old man took a deep breath ‘’ It is
rightly said that nemesis strikes even the most wary transgressor.”
The boy almost sneered.
‘’ My first few years were luxurious.’’ The
old man smiled weakly ‘’but the money dwindled away so fast that by the time I
realized that I was in dire straits, I was left stranded in this big bad
world.’’
