wet as he was; helped him 20 get q pai-
Of trousers and his shoes on, buttoued his
coat up around his neck. and scared him
into coming Up no the foor OF ,ie House.
He got there just too late to b. recorded

his hair, until the final vote was taken he
looked like q signal or distress. but did
his duty. ard later went back 10 the bath
