In the circumstances, the waiter natu-

especially as the host had excused him

before.
The guest was embarrassed; he found
himself in a false position with the young
ladies and the waiter. He did not like
TO say TO the latter who stood waiting
at his elbow. that his friend would settle,
so he paid the bill.
