"There's something a great deal worse," said Meldon. "Did you hear what Doyle said to me a few minutes ago?" "I heard him asking for the loan of my car cushions. I don't particularly want to lend them, but I shouldn't regard his getting them as a catastrophe at all to be compared to the earthquake and all the other things you were gassing about."
