His cigarette was actually scorching his thumb and forefinger, but he was heedless of the fact. He flicked up the dining-room lights again and rapidly made himself a sparklet soda, which he added to a. small whiskey. He looked almost lovingly at the gleaming Cellini tankard, at the pools of light on the fair dam- ask. Was it possible that he was not going to lose all this, after all?

The thing is that Hilary ob- , jected to her flirting with Mr. Ker.” i “I think the question is whether Ker objected!” there is one thing a woman wants,” said Mr. Mumbles, as he finished his coliee, “it is method.” Mrs. Mumbles smiled meekly. “Yes,” repeated Mr. Mumbles, “method is what is necessary.
