Uncle Boon's stall near midnight, three answers from the man who counts the bowls: Uncle, can we stay on; we'll see; will there be clear broth tomorrow; another day; we'll see means no, another day means never; then I'll pay next week; all right, Captain, no problem; that's a yes, but it hurt, say thank you, quick; thank you very much, Uncle Boon: the yes that means no, and the tone that tells.
