I heard him stamp out into the passage, and a moment later he came banging into my room. I saw in an instant that some sort of a crisis had come. "Munro," he cried, "this practice is going to the devil!" "Ah!" said I. "How's that? "It's going to little pieces, Munro. I've been taking figures, and I know what I am talking about.
