Greenwich Village

CHAPTER VII
33/44

Grim?
Surely, but even a healthy-minded child will play at gruesome and ghoulish games once in a while.
There is a Dead Man's Chest too,--and if you open it you will find a ladder leading down into mysterious depths unknown.

If you are very adventurous you will climb down and bump your head against the cellar ceiling and inspect what is going to be a subterranean grotto as soon as it can be fitted up.

You climb up again and sit in the dim, smoky little room and look about you.

It is the most perfect pirate's den you can imagine.

On the walls hang huge casks and kegs and wine bottles in their straw covers,--all the signs manual of past and future orgies.
