irritated companion
He says that, does he? You found him
on the whole tolerably straightforward,
eh? A hard nut; but hard nuts are usu-
ally sound ones. Come, now prejudice
aside, what's your honest opinion of the
man you've had under your eye and ear
for three solid weeks? Hasn't there been
the best of reasons for your failure?

of his superfiuous emotion. ''You can't

The O. B. who wrote the threatening
lines acknowledged to by Orlando Broth
erson was not the Q. b. who penned all
of those love letters. The similarity in
the writing misled us at first, but once
