My wrist watch told me that it lacked only two minutes of the two hours had named, and which Alfgred had greeted rather incredulously, while declaiming his own ability to be at the rendezvous. l would have been devoid Of all feminine malice if I had not been glad that his hurried exit from the subway was five minutes after inc hour named, and that his glance at mo showed his remembrance Of his boast.
