Heaving up his six-feet-one from the seat, he led the way to the two conversing men. Raimonda looked around and greeted the newcomers pleasantly. Cluff waved an explanatory hand between his charge and the bench. "Make you acquainted with Mr. Perkins," he said, neglecting to mention the name of the first party of the introduction.
I will only say that my tailor knew his business but the others were fearful and wonderful to look upon.
