The rest passed us, and the last pair approached.
You have examined your stateroom, with its hot and cold decorations, its running stewardess, its all-night throb service, and its windows overlooking the Hudson a stateroom that seemed so large and commodious until you put one small submissive steamer trunk and two scared valises in it.
