Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist.

There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry santa anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch.
