looklike angel-baby done put on a few pounds , henry said in a low voice , and then they were howling with laughter , holding onto each other and pounding each other and henry came back inside and about two weeks later eddie was snorting the stuff too and he could n't understand why the hell he had made such a big deal out of it , after all , it was only snorting , shit , it got you off , and as henry ( who eddie would eventually come to think of as the great sage and eminent junkie ) said , in a world that was clearly going to hell head-first , what was so low about getting high ?
