even then the. net gain will show a
larger increase in membership and in

all right toward everybody else aboard,

them. When / crossed to London last

hour before we landed l handed him a
paper on which was written down my

him a crank, a curmudgeon, beast,
a heather, and lots of other things,
and expressed the fervent hope that it
might never occur that the same hotel
would give us both shelter in Europe.
