And I don't know Marrineal." "Upright, too; that one?" The sneer in Masters's heavy voice was palpable. "You consider that no newspaper can be upright," the lawyer interpreted.

He found Raymond swinging in a hammock under the trees. "I say," he began awkwardly, "I'm sorry I hit you when we had that row. Aunt Mabel wished me to tell you so." "Hum! You'll be sorrier still before long. I suppose now you want to 'kiss and be friends'?" "No, I don't."
