Grayson had kept his promise; that the evening had been delightful, and immediately changed the subject. There was no use trying to convert Garry. "And now tell me about the supper," asked Jack. "Oh, that was all right. We whooped it up till they closed the bar and then went home with the milk. Had an awful head on me next morning; nearly fell off the scaffold, I was so sleepy.
