It left the old chimpanzee quite flummoxed." As he closed the gate, a motor-car drove up and a man sprang out briskly, followed by several others.
"Well, you are a cough-drop!" he exclaimed. "No, I can't take the bet, 'twouldn't be professional; though I'd like to know, without prejudice, as the lawyers say, why on earth you should want to go back. I should have thought you'd had quite enough of it." I could not tell him the real reason, that, if I lived, I should never rest till I had at least learned the fate of Anne Pendennis.
"He must be balmy!" said Betty, and the lady in blue went into fits of laughter. "Yes," said Lord Robert, "and all because wicked men like ourselves insist on enjoying ourselves on a day like this with pretty people like you." "Well, he is a cough-drop!" said Betty.
"I had a cough-drop in my mouth to make my voice smooth and when it came my turn I was so scared I couldn't swallow it and there I had to talk with that thing in my cheek, and every minute or two it'd get out and 'most strangle me!

A sudden brisk tap on the door drew a startled movement from the men and a frightened cry from the girls. The door opened and the head nurse stood before them.
One o' the lightermen said I was a 'wonder, and the other said I was a 'fair cough-drop. Me! "She got tired of it at last, but by that time I was so done up I couldn't say a word.

"Besides, lad, even an advertisement of a cough-drop is something to read." So there was always plenty of mail. Among the commercial enticements McClintock found a real letter. In privacy he read and reread it a dozen times, and eventually destroyed it by fire. It was, in his opinion, the most astonishing letter he had ever read.
