Mr.. Bowser placed his back against

Ten minutes later Green was there.
He was taken upstairs, and there Mr..

Green got a brace for his foot, drew

glance at him.
"Not a symptom. Only women and
children have the grip"
"Are you bothered in your mind
about anything?"
"Not a thing. l let nothing worry
me-"
During the dinner hour he had little
to say, and Mrs. Bowser, who was
watching him out of the corner of her
eye, noticed that he wriggled in his
chair every few minutes and that now
and then he rubbed his back against
the Stats. Something seemed to be
hitting him between the shoulders off
and on. but it was evident that he had
no explanations to offer as vet.
When they went up to the sitting
room he fingered behind for a moment
and rubbed his back against a door
