Mrs. Bowser argued and coaxed, but
Mr.. Bowser was firm. There was one
point where he did give in, however.
He decided to test it from the sitting
room window, eight feet above the
ground, instead of from the second
story. 1t was matter of only five
minutes to screw in the hook and make
ready, and then he removed his coat,
kicked off his shoes and said:
