First Sentence:	There were signs of a disturbance in the public streets, but there was no crowd to witness it-only two policemen, talking together and swinging their clubs, at the corner of Catherine street and the Bowery, and two belated members of the press-one whom I shall call Frank Watson and myself-were the witnesses of the scene.
Last Sentence:	I might have elaborated them indefinitely, but they are tragic enough as they stand.
