Because he failed to convert me he became more unhappy. For the sake of bonhomie I should have cursed Philly. Making friends and telling the truth are often incompatible.

He was standing in front of the new site lamenting broadly to a friend. Somehow I became involved in the conversation. It eventually transpired that he lived in Merion, his daughter sometimes works at the Barnes, and they would be personally inconvenienced having to travel all the way to Philadelphia just to visit the Barnes.
