"Mr. Toot Williams, Craps," was a prominent sign in Coonville. Toot knew how to "throw the bait," and Rufus was "cleaned" only to be coaxed back. That was how Lily got her "glad rags." Other gentlemen friends and husbands sought like luck at Toot's. That was where Toot came to his Waterloo. He threw "bait" at the wrong point.
