Said he, fingering his white walrus mustache in wonderment-now mixed with pride-at his son's strange fascination with space: "I don't know where his talent comes from...

Jimmie's professional equipment includes a pleasant, relaxed young voice, a hunchy, fingersnapping rhythmic sense, and a totally undistinguished way with a guitar...
...melody. In this case, a gondolier rashly falls in love with a beautiful English girl whose snobbery is so intense that it simply does not occur to her that a mere gondolier could aspire to be her lover. When the uninformed Venetian finally begins to understand, he swills wine, falls off a quay and is drowned, but not before the reader wishes that he had taken his painted oar to the girl in Liberty silks...
