Artie Beguelin said: "Then you oughtn't to have invited Flora Forsyth to the bridesmaid's dinner." Well, perhaps I oughtn't. But I did, because she asked to come. One can't refuse a request of that sort. Even Aubrey admits that. Flora was a dreamy, trusting blonde.

"This is very jolly," I said. "Do you know that my view during working hours consists of two broken windows and fifty square feet of brick? It's not enough. It's not what I call a vista.
