It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that I encountered my friend. He accosted me w

ith excessive warmth, for he had been drinking much. The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells. I was so pleased to see him that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand.

I blanked out and he tapped me and said whats wrong,I balled and revealed to him the news.I felt really miserable for causing him so much pain...
