Then, in a moment, with a cry of Hello, little girlier' the strange mans disengaged arm was twined about Lillian's gray fox collar, and his face was rapidly approaching hers. But the two faces were violently parted by a blow of the kind technically known as left hook" and the left hooker was MT. Middleton.
 "Stop! Lillian cried. What are you doing? Don't you see it's Ronald Oh, Ronald, I'm so sorryr'
 Ronald had recovered himself from the shock and was in the act of charg- ing when Lillian hurriedly pronounced the formula of introduction: Ronald. my friend, Mir. Middleton. MT. Middle ton, my brother-in-law, Mir. Fraser"

 Where are you moving top Fraser asked in bewilderment, solicitously feeling the right side of his face.

 But Lillian interrupted in her impul- sive way: "Oh. Ronald, Pm so glad to see you And I'm so sorry. I'll have to explain 1t all to you. We were just going to buy a Thanksgiving dinner for Mrs. Flanagan to cook, MT. Mid dleton didn't know"-
