"Mr. Baker," he said, simply, his eyes
inscrutable.
"Well, Sunny, this
chanel bags sale is my old
friend Bob Orde. Bob, this is the world-famous Sunny Larue, apostle of the
Unlimited Life of whom you've heard so much." He winked at Bob. "How's the
Colony flourishing, Sunny?"
"More and more our people are growing to see
the light," said the mulatto in low, musical tones. "The mighty but simple
principles of Azamud are coming into their own. The poor and lowly, the humble
and oppressed are learning that
chanel bags in me is their
salvation--." He went on in his beautiful voice explaining the Colony of the
Unlimited Life, addressing always Bob directly and paying little attention to
Baker, who stood aside, his hands in his pockets, a smile on his fat,
good-natured face. It seemed that the Colony lived in tents in a canon of the
foothills. It paid Larue fifty dollars a head, and in return was supported for
six months
chanel bags and instructed in
the mysteries of the cult. It had its regimen. "At three we arise and break our
fast, quite simply, with three or four dry prunes," breathed Larue, "and then,
going forth to the high places for one hour, we hold steadfast the thought of
Love."
"Say, Sunny," broke in Baker, "how many you got rounded up
now?"
"There are at present twenty-one earnest proselytes."
"At
fifty a head--and you've got to feed and
chanel handbags keep 'em
somehow--even three dried prunes cost you something in the long run"--ruminated
Baker. He turned briskly to the mulatto: "Sunny, on the dead, where does the
graft come in?"
The mulatto drew himself up in swift offence,
scrutinized Bob closely for a moment, met Baker's grin. Abruptly his impressive
manner dropped from him. He leaned toward them with a captivating flash of white
teeth.
"_You just leave that to me_," he murmured, and glided
chanel
bags away into the crowd.
Baker laughed and drew Bob's arm
within his own.
"Out of twenty of the faithful there's sure to be one or
two with life savings stowed away in a sock, and Sunny's the boy to make them
produce the sock."
"What's his cult, anyway?" asked Bob. "I mean, what
do they pretend to believe? I couldn't make out."
