said, with assumed seriousness. II
thought owed you an apology for
my conversation at dinner discussing

which you have no interest and could

Sommers. catching the spirit Of the
scene. bowed seriously.

was rather strange that you should
choose q subject on a thing neither

of course. Is you were host l Clipped

Durant turned to his wife.
