He nodded over the brimming glass with a knowing "Well, chin-chin!" and subsided diagonally into a chair with his legs across one arm. "I thought Grierson's age and experience might save my play from further amateur surgery," Eric explained. "Tootaloo," chirped Manders resiliently and dragged a crumpled script from his pocket.
A star or two burned slowly through that part of the sky where the pink began to fade into the blue. Charlie went forward and set the side lights red on the port rigging, green on the starboard.
