No twinge of indigestion or of rheumatism from exposure was to interfere with the working of their precious intellectual processes.

She went often thereafter to the manoir while her husband was painting, and marvelled at the ease and sureness with which the Russian installed herself, her only helpers being the stupid peasants, who seemed to understand no language but their own jargon. "I'm used to driving cattle," the Russian explained to Milly with a little laugh.
Ross and his helpers removed the folding tables and other loaned articles.
