"it's all right, officer," he said, "i'm waiting for a friend, it's been set twenty years ago." it sounds a little funny, does not it? "the man lit his cigar. the light showed a pale, square facewith sharp eyes and a small white scar near the right eyebrow."twenty years ago," said the man, "i dined here, in the" big joe "brady with jimmy wells, my best friend and the guy from "fi nest" in the world.we grew up here in new york, like two brothers. i was eighteenand jimmy was twenty. the next morning i had to start on the westgrow rich. you could not get jimmy out of new york .; he thought that this was the only place on earth. well, we agreed that nightthat we will meet again here exactly twenty years after this date andtime, no matter what our conditions could be or from the distance weperhaps, has come. at twenty, each of us must have our own destinydeveloped and made our fortunes, whatever they were.
