He had been the author of our hero's discomfiture the first time he tried to present himself to Madame de Cintre.
"They must have pulled all the way, for there hasn't been enough wind to fill a hollow tooth with." "Perhaps they pulled in the wrong direction," said Frere. "They had a good four hours' start of us, you know." Then Best came up, and told the story to a crowd of eager listeners.
"Dear, dear," said Mr. Meekin. "She was quite a baby," said Vickers, hastily, as though unwilling to admit that her illness had been the cause of her forgetfulness. "Oh, no; I was twelve years old," said Sylvia; "that's not a baby, you know. But I think the fever made me stupid." Frere, looking at her uneasily, shifted in his seat.
