NOT THE RIGHT MAN.
107
Why it was that he gave me the money
I never could certainly tell;
For he did not confess to a failure
In that thrilling affair with Miss Belle.

But I always have thought—perhaps wrongly—
That a new life for Charley began
From the day of his wooing of Bella,
When he found he was not the right man.
