%uneasily upon his chair. He shufled
his feet. His eyes would leave his

the chandelier. L couldn't take my

Then I noticed his fingers. They
appeared to be engaged in an act Of
truancy. One second they would slip
from the instrument and the next
they would leap guiltily back. Once
his whole hand darted swiftly to his
bosom and as quickly regained its po-
sition upon the instrument. And all
