The last leaf
????? In a neighborhood west of Washington Square, the street is divided like mad into little alleys called alleys. These "alleys" form many strange angles and curves. A street itself sometimes crosses more than once. Once a painter saw something valuable in the street. It would be interesting if a merchant, going to collect money for paints, paper, and canvases, went round and round the street, and suddenly came across himself, empty-handed, without having received a dime.
