The Prohibition Question This is a rather misleading
title as there is no Prohibition Question in Baroque.
There can't be.
There is no Prohibition.
Either the people have not heard of the great mistake of
1918, or they are deliberately disobeying it.
I rather think it is the latter.
Despite the efforts of the WCTU, the City officials and
numerous long-nosed people with plenty of time on their
hands, there has been and is and always will
be, plenty of stimulating fluids in Baroque.
Strong drink is raging and beer.
Beer is too bits of court.
There are no Speakies in Baroque.
If you should happen by a dispensary and hear
the wasle lusty songs and feminine laughter
that is always in evidence, Speak Easy is the last
term you'd think of.
