onions were not the least hit greasy.
There fitted through his mind haZy

the friendliness of the tone. and he
quickly multiplied his first vision of a
tip by two He surrounded the big
chief by SO large a japanese screen
that the latter had private dining
room to himself, and the other people
In the room soon forgot he was there
A few minutes later man and a

scanned the room eagerly for vacant

There was only one, a small table
