at the same time, he found himself
confronting two empty chairs and a
singularly attractive girl. ~
There was obviously a mistake here
He turned to explain that fact to the
waiter, but his guide had dissolved
into thin air.
As he hesitated, conscious all the
while that people were turning in their
chairs to look at him, the lady removed
the cigarette from her lips and smiled
at him quite openly.

He produced a handkerchief and
mopped his forehead.
