LGDI - (HSG Synd.#017) - Big Brother

Personal notice, dangerous my stock and trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you got a job for me, George Valentine. Write full details. Say I wonder if you like Runyoness characters like I do.

You know, fellows like Harry the Horse, nicely, nicely Johnson and all the rest. But don't get me wrong. This is not a Runyon story, but I'll let George do it adventure. However, there is a character called Lou Mendel in this little tale that must have associated with the boys, because you will see that plenty of Broadway has rubbed off on low.

On top of that, the boys got trouble. So much so that even his trouble has trouble, which is bad. So what is to do? Get in touch with George Valentine, which he does. My dear Mr. Valentine, my name is Lou Mendel.

I own a nightclub, the club top hat, which I'm sure if you've ever been there, I'll admit it's a very high class place. It's not the type place where we have any trouble, and everything is strictly above the board, which is where you fit into the picture puzzle, Mr. Valentine.

There is this girl whose name is Dove. She's a new dancer on account of it. She can't dance, but I like to be big-hearted. But as of to date, my big heart has got me nothing but a blow on the head.

This is the essence of the puzzle. Who hit me? Even more important is what about Dove? She is somehow in the middle of the trouble. And for such a nice girl, I don't like it.

Oh yes, this is a lot more than just what you may be thinking. Because poor little dove, you understand. Looks upon me as a big brother. How do you look upon her, Mr. Manda? What's the matter with me?
