Two men at the table in front of him were talking their voices, over a momentary lull in violin squeaks, talk, laughter, singing, and the clatter of dishes, reached him: "Carling commit suicide! Not on your life! No; of course he didn't! It was that cursed Gray Seal croaked him, just as sure as you sit in that chair!" The other grunted.
Carling sided enthusiastically with the members who espoused this latter side of the question, and the object of his pamphlet was to address the subscribers to the society on the subject, and so to interest them in it as to win their charitable support, on a larger scale than usual, to the new project.
"And you know that just as soon as he got alone again with us two women he began backing and filling as badly as ever. I believe Mr. Lenox is right, and that Julius is just petticoated to death between us." "Did Mr. Lenox say that?" asked Mrs. Carling incredulously. "No," said her sister, laughing, "he didn't make use of precisely that figure, but that was what he thought plainly enough."
'To-morrow, then! said Carling intrepidly, on a dash of enthusiasm, through a haggard thought of his wife and the cook and the netting of friends at short notice. He urged his eagerness to ask whether he might indeed have the satisfaction of naming to-morrow. 'With happiness, Fenellan responded. Mrs. Carling was therefore in for it.

'Probably you mix cream in your salad of the vinegar and oil, said Fenellan. 'Try jelly of mutton. 'You give me a new idea. Latterly, fond as I am of salads, I've had rueful qualms. We'll try it.
Carling was instigated by the praise he had bestowed on his wife to separate himself from a female pretender so ludicrous; he sought Fenellan's nearest ear, emitting the sound of 'hum. 'In other respects, unimpeachable! 'Oh! quite!
The pair are a mated couple, such as you won't find in ten households over Christendom. Are you aware of the story? Carling replied: 'A story under shadow of the Law, has generally two very distinct versions. 'Hear mine. And, by Jove! a runaway cab. No, all right.
