Excerpt from Collecting as a Pastime The rostrum shook under the thud of the fist of the reformed prizefighter, and the hall reverberated with his stentorian exclamation. Ah-h-h-h, my friends what will the drunkard do for drink? Allow me ]ll. To whisper, What won't the collector do for curios P 'it is generally understood that there IS honesty among thieves.
