...handsome would-be lawyer Faustino Valentin. Citizens of Valencia, jamming the lofty, oak-paneled courtroom where he was standing trial, applauded lustily, for the swindles that Faustino had perpetrated were just such poems as all their dreams were made of.

If they start pushing, I just say, 'Now kids ... be good kids'-I call them all kids, grown-ups and all-and they settle down." After a moment he added moodily: "Sometimes I can feel hands all over me when I get home-but they do it because they're Hoppy's friends...
