"Then," said Hugh dreamily, "I have a few other little methods of work, though so trivial and so essentially personal I don't know whether you would find them worth mentioning." "Oh, anything, anything, Mr. Kinross, if you will be so kind," said Miss Bibby enthusiastically. "Well," said Hugh, looking pensively around his work-room, "I am a man of rather curious habits.
"And now," said Hugh, "will you just see if the children have enough to eat?" "Oh dear, oh dear," said Miss Bibby, fluttering up, "I really had forgotten them for the moment. I I hope they have not made themselves ill."
She opened a door without knocking and put in her head. "Hugh," she said, in as bland a tone as she could call up, "I have brought a lady to interview you for the Evening Mail. I have assured her you will not object. Well, I shall see you again in half an hour, Miss Bibby."

While here, there and everywhere were scattered evidences of the high skill chocolate manufacturers are attaining to hatchets, saws, garden rakes, dolls' tea-sets, animals of every description all in the most delightful kind of chocolate. The children buzzed round the tables like eager flies, but Miss Bibby would not have them begin until their host had paid the visit he had promised.
We are going in hot pursuit of two of the world's best things eggs and bacon. I will return them safely thank you very much. Good-bye." That was all. Not another word, though Miss Bibby, going over and over again in her mind the great meeting, tried hard to imagine that she had forgotten some notable thing he had said. Then she began to torture herself with fears that she had behaved stupidly.
"My dear sir," he began in icy tones, "when you had my client arrested and charged with being a burglar, had you made any personal inquiry as to the facts?" "I didn't have him arrested!" protested the witness. "You deny that you ordered Bibby to charge the defendant with burglary?" roared Mr. Tutt. "Take care!
