...Vagabond has gotten about a goodly bit. In his day he has seen the capitals of the world gaudy with the pomp and panoply of kings. He has held London in the same comfortable respect as he regards his grandfather. He has looked upon Paris as a young girl with rouged cheeks and a broken heel. But Vienna was like a young debutante at her first dance.

What occurred after the Sage had salaamed with his courtly grace, and the Vagabond had pulled him to him like a brother is none of the reader's business. What would you do upon meeting a long lost friend on a beautiful, balmy Friday afternoon with all Saturday and Sunday before you to rest. If this doesn't bring it home, look...
