To be praised by him was disaster, and Cliffe's flush showed at once that the letter had caused him acute annoyance. He and Ashe fell upon the writer, vying with each other in anecdotes that left him presently close-plucked and bare. "That's all very well," said Kitty, amid the laughter which greeted the last tale, "but he never told you how he proposed to the second Lady S."
"Indeed, and who is it?" demanded Clarence sharply. "Mr. Hooker. He said I was to say Jim Hooker." The momentary annoyance in Clarence's face changed to a look of reflective curiosity. "He said he knew you were at the theatre, and he would wait until you came home," continued the man, dubiously watching his master's face.
