Kenneth's First Encounter With Corruption

Kenneth on his first encounter with graft and corruption. He was about 11 years old and went with Jimmy, a 15 years old, to a movie. The girl that was selling the tickets liked Jimmy and so gave them two tickets before she turned around to take them back from the door-keeper as soon as Kenneth and Jenny had handed them to this fellow.
