"Oh, Mr. Day," she cried, feebly, "have have you had your lunch?" "I have, Mrs. Watkins," he replied. Then to Janice: "No matter how much you may like to scrub floors, my dear, you will have to leave this one for Mrs. Watkins to finish.
He turned a dazed and wondering look on the man whose friendly grasp supported him, then, with an exclamation, made a trembling attempt to raise his hat. "Il Re!" he murmured feebly "Il Re!"
