Of course, nobody ever takes the newspapers she sells, even after they buy them off of her, because they are generally yesterdays papers, and sometimes last weeks, and nobody ever wants her flowers, even after they pay her for them, because they are flowers such as she gets off an undertaker over on Tenth Avenue, and they are very tired flowers indeed.
