The invitation, then renewed with louder vocifera- tion, was declined on the ground of a late ap- pointment. and soon afterwards the cab bm oa at a pretty detached house, with a = den in front.

His nds fidgetted with a thick gold watchguard, as if he were in tantrums about the time, and he darted across the road among the omni- busses and cabs as though he much preferred the risk of being knocked down and run over to that of losing an instant. Aylmer followed him, bewildered, and wondering whither this would tend. Expostulations were of no use, for the nimble hosier had preceded him.
