For it is moments ike these that breed silence. And such a moment occurred when Mr. Richard Craftonbury Adams, fol- owed by Matherton in a great state of trepidation, appeared like x form of harried avenging angel inthe doorway of his own living- room, For two awful moments Richard Craftonbury Adams glowered at the his and spoke. “What the devil's going on here?” quoth Richard Crafton- fo one seemed prepared to rey to. this simple Seapicy: foals Craftonbury tried exhortatory measures. “Well, speak up, dammit,” he said.-“‘Speak up, somebody!” As he said it, he peered at the group and discovered two individuals with whom he had a nodding acquaintance. They were Van Harkness and Jumbo Cutler. He picked on Van. “Ha! You, Hark- ness! What does this mean?” “Er—aagh .. .” began Van and stopped, finding himself supersed- ed by someone possessed of a bet- ter gift of language. It was,surprisingly enough, Miss Dorothy South.

He seemed to her the incarnation of a breed with whieh she had had a world of ex- perience, namely, the tired busi- ness man. He looked like a har- assed sugar daddy. And, such being the case, she held him in no awe whatsoever. She addressed him as she was wont to address sugar daddies. “Hello, Pops,” she said. “Come on in, The water's fine.” Richard Craftonbury jumped. “Eh?” he ejaculated. “T said oil up the joints and let’s ~ and me touch off a rhumba. ‘ow look as if you could bend a wicked ankle, Pops.” Richard Craftonbury smirked slightly. Back in the golden nine- ties he had bent ankles with the best of them. But in his day gen- tlemen had not-danced with young ladies to whom they were not yet introduced. He sought introduc- tion in. a direct and tycoon-ish manner. “Who the devil are you?” he de- manded. “Now, Pops,” said Miss South soothingly, ie poe shirt on.
