I would show him-that this was New York, not Iquique; that the roof was not his Andean tableland.
 Every one elaborately ignored my absence from dinner. The Dallas Browns. Max and Loilie were at bridge; Jim was alone in the den. walking the floor and biting at an un- lighted cigar; Betty had returned to Aunt Selina and was hysterical. they said. and Fiannigan was in deep de l jection because I had missed my din ner.
