He leaned back in the chair, a smock draped about his stocky frame, for the usual haircut and shampoo. Then he began to ply the barber with questions: "How is the season so far?" and "How are the stores doing?"; then "Is there plenty of employment?" Jim Corbett, who picks up most of the talk of the island, was ready with a full briefing: the season was fair...
