Robins.

swiftly with deep scowl upon his face. Listen to

Robins put up his glasses and gazed rather heplessly
at this remarkable young woman, and for moment
considered whether her money and her mode of life
might not have affected her mind whereat reading his
thought, she laughed heartily at him.

THAT is an achievement that must
be looked upon with a good deal
