The deacon surveyed the attractive
room, which, with its CHEEKY fire and
comfortable cushioned chairs, seemed a
veritable paradise in comparison with his
untidy il-kept home. He placed his
hat on the floor beside. his chair, display

plastered over the top of his head SO as
to cover as much of the bald surface as
possible. Then there was long pause.

Miss Keziah, resuming her knitting.
She was greatly puzzled to account for
those Sunday clothes.
