He plunged into his paper with the
air of one who has concluded con-

customers in the room-one a power
full, sunburned man in tweed clothes,
who sat with a bottle of wine in front
OF him and a newspaper propped up
against it, dining, apparently, entirely
to his satisfaction. The other had the
appearance of being one of the staff.
The dinner was little better than
usual, and curiously enough II was
served almost precipitately.
"One would imagine, Brooke re-
marked, that they wanted to get rid
