His meal was finished. He lounged in

cigar ash were scattered about.
His wife would not have minded his
smoking at table if only he had been

She waited, regarding him curiously
till he let his newspaper fall to the floor
and met her scrutiny with quizzical
squint in his gray eyes. He enjoyed look

The room had been furnished in a

Sans own chair at table was squat,
bulky piece of the American black-walnut
period at its worst, with sprawling claw
feet, sprawling arms, and a garland of
cabbage roses carved upon the high back.
The hand of dull-witted tombstone

the chair was hideously ugly and out of
keeping; but Sam would not give up
its solid comfort.
Sans pepper-and-salt business suit,
worn comfortably loose upon his heavy,
thick-shouldered figure, was long way
from matching the rooms lines and color

hair; so was his broad, forid face; so
was his slouching attitude.
Had you studied the face of Sans wife,
