Ingolby wrote something on his visiting-card. "My man'll let you in, if you show that. Well, good-bye."
"You know a man'll get tired of himself, even, if he's condemned to it too continual, and think of that blondinetted typewriter for a steady diet to a man like Morris! Imagine her when her hair dye started to give out green streaks in that pompadour!
