They did not fit the picture any more than her beetle-browed, red-lipped Serbian who.... She turned deliberately and swept the room with her glance. Of course he had gone. It was not to be expected that he would descend to the level of such puerile feasting.

The two constituents approached the representative whose election they had so ardently supported. "Well, Newt, how air ye?" Abel Newt was confounded at being accosted in such a place at such an hour.
