AT THE SIGN OF THE PIANO LAMP The morning after Christmas Eve is the worst morning-after there is. The very house suffers the headache that follows a prolonged spree.

Christmas morning in the town of Carthage is a day when most of the people keep close at home, for Christmas is another passover. It is Santa Claus that passes over.
