to seek that particular establishment
in preference to the palatial modern
hostelries of the Rive Droite-before
De Morbihan, ostensibly for the first
time espying Lanyard, plunged across
the room with both hands outstretched
and a cry of joyous surprise not really
justified by their rather slight &C
