One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the 6 before me, the violin under my chin.

But_18 a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the least _19 of all. Except for retired any officers, who would shout "Why aren't you 20 , young mad?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.
