It was two o’clock in the morn- ing, but far down in the street below, the hum of ceaseless traffic and the sharp hoot-hoot of motor horng @illed the night.

He wouldn’t be pematiess of course; thank God he had had sense enough to save something, He could go back home, and live quietly somewhere in the country or by the sea, But Bernie would hate that.
