from the head Of the stairs. Mrs. Kin
terby raised her hand. warning the
others to silence.

more than twice the size of this"
where did you sit?" asked the
waiter.
What has that to do with it? I be-
lieve I sat by the window"

serve customers by the window large
portions. It's a good advertisement
for the place."
