He was a connoisseur, for he had said that the picture was a crackerjack. 'Monsieur is kind, murmured Paul. 'It's a bear-cat, said the young man, admiringly.
"But what's all the hurry about?" "Because she's here," says Waddy. "In Washington, I mean. The lovely Marcelle. Came over looking for me, Joe, just as she promised. Perhaps you didn't know she did promise, though?" "Sure," says Joe. "That's what she told all of us." "Eh?" gasps Waddy. "Some hugger, that one," says Joe. "Swell lady, too.
