But he wasn't/ bright and he wasn't bad. He was neither a halfwit nor a whole wit, and he had almost as much moral/ sense a cat His habitual compantons, hower er, were evil, For many such per sona in the city had discovered that, on occasion, Freddie could be tremendously useful, To begin with, his luck distinguished him as| much as brains and talent could have done. Some people are al ways finding fourleaved clovers Freddie's gift, tho he had never) seen a clover patch or lived In clo vor, was of that sort.
