I confess to be entirely absorbed in these fried potatoes." "Words, words, Mr. Romayne, vocabulary, adjectives," replied Nora. "Ah," said Romayne, "but why should one worry about words, especially adjectives, when one has such divine realities as these to deal with?" "Have some muffles, Mr. Romayne," said Nora. "Muffles?
