Back in New York, the money began to roll in and it has never stopped. Like a factory, Christy turned out magazine covers, illustrations, posters. The Christy Girl began to vie with the Gibson Girl in popularity. Two of his best-known models he married: Mabelle Thompson and the present Mrs. Nancy May Palmer Christy. In 1921 he felt himself sufficiently secure financially to give up illustrating and strike out as a painter of celebrities. Since then he has heard Benito Mussolini play the violin, has dined with Marie of Rumania, has made recognizable likenesses of Crown Prince Umberto...
...hardly more than a bag of bones, too weak to moan, pads worn to the quick. Kind Mr. Kelley had forgotten about the great dog hunt, but he carried the miserable animal to a nearby farmhouse. The farmer promptly led him to a tree, pointed to a poster. It was Sox. Hastily summoned, a veterinarian gave the dog an injection of glucose and a 50-50 chance to live, rushed it to the O'Haras' home in Pawtucket.

And tomorrow he will awake and, still with mixed thoughts of Manhattan, be off to see some "Moving Pictures of African Wild Life." The Vagabond feels this will be a relief after his escapade to the City...
...that brings up several questions: Will the four-poster fit? May the Vagabond bring his dog? Does the sun beam in happily in the morning? May the Vagabond bring his flute; and play it whene'er he wishes? Will the gates be open to him at all hours? May the Vagabond bring the old woman to keep his fire; to make his tea? Must the old fellow don his cloak and sit at High Table? What will become of his Nut-cracker Man? What birds live in the Tower? Can the Charles, even as now, be seen? Do the Moon...
