Elderson, a youngman in this office came to me
yesterday with a very queer story. You must imagine that its a faun orsome other bit
of all right. I dont think, he said slowly, that we have ever had a scrap,
oranything like it.
The scent of geranium fading; the little dog
snuffling atthe door.
He himself had never drunk anything to speak of,
buthe liked to feel that he could.
She could not resist putting themon
also.
In along life of dealings with money, he had never
had such anexperience. Ifonly she could go swimmy and not care for
anything!
Yes, bring him to-morrow; but, if I can persuade
her, itll be inthe altogether.
Resting her chin on one hand, she wagged thebell.
With solemnity they assumed top hats, and issued. With his chinresting on the sheet,
Soames felt a momentary relief. Im not so sure, said Soames, Im not so
sure.
Hedbetter wait for me to go, if I leave anything,
that is. Michael sent me a most topping little model to-day.
Hestood for a minute at the mouth of Wilfrids
backwater.
In fact, if I only knew you were interested in
thefuture, I should make more provision.
Did one keep ones form,or get down to squealing and
kicking in the stomach? The business of working honesty was to keep out of those
twoinstitutions. And look at himself, for the first time inforty years on thin ice,
and suffering confoundedly.
His meeting with Old Mont took place at Snooks
directly afterlunch. He had been asleep and it was dark, or all but, in his
bed-dressing-room.
