"Ha ha!" said Richard again and banged the dish cover against the table implements of a foodless tray that had marked the hour of a meal time. "Don't fidget!" roared Van Diest, emitting a cloud of tobacco smoke. "Don't smoke!" Richard countered in the same tone. "I shmoke on purpose." "And I fidget on purpose."
