On the way he eonfided to me that lots of married men thought they were contented when they were mere ly resigned, but that it was the only life, and that Sam, junior, could swim like a duck. Incidentally, he said that Alison was his wifes cousin, their re- spective grandmothers having, at proper intervals, married the same man, and that Alison would lose her good looks if she was not careful.
