Well Al I got back to the hotel and snuck down the street a ways and had a couple of beers before supper. So I come to the supper table late and Walsh tells me they had been several phone calls for me. I go down to the desk and they tell me to call up a certain number. So I called up and they charged me a nickel for it. A girlâs voice answers the phone and I says Was they some one there that wanted to talk to Jack Keefe? She says You bet they is. She says Donât you know me, Jack? This is Violet. Well, you could of knocked me down with a peace of bread. I says What do you want? She says Why I want to see you. I says Well you canât see me. She says Why whatâs the matter, Jack? What have I did that you should be sore at me? I says I guess you know all right. You called me a busher. She says Why I didnât do nothing of the kind. I says Yes you did on that postcard. She says I didnât write you no postcard.
