Thought it was some sort of committee meeting." "Then that eliminates all but some member of the office staff," says Old Hickory. "Torchy, you acted as secretary. Do you remember that anyone came into the directors' room during our session?" "Not a soul," says I. "Except the boy Vincent," suggests Piddie. "Ah, he wasn't in," says I. "Only came to the door with some telegrams; I took 'em myself."
Adopting this sight test, he eliminates more than half the platoon, whereupon, by a further process of elimination, due to the fact that he has only sizes 7 and 8, he selects the fortunate twelve who are to walk dry shod. The same method of procedure is carried out in selecting the braces.
In any case, it has been pointed out, the word adds nothing to the number of our facts; nor is it quite clear yet that it eliminates God from the story any more than the term "digestion" makes it inappropriate to say Grace before meat.
