The Gay Lady held her pretty head high as she smiled approval on the guest. Camellia's effect on the Gay Lady was to make her feel like a school-girl she had repeatedly avowed it to me in private.
A faint, sarcastic smile curved his lips, and in his pale eyes there was no hint of trouble or fear merely a look of tolerant, half-contemptuous amusement. Immaculate in his dinner-coat and fresh boutonnière, his bearing superb in his ease and condescension, he presented a picture of elegance. Blaine glanced about the rich, somber den before he replied.

Absolute! They make it up." "Huh! Well, I guess I'll take my chance on them. The factory knows the ignition better 'n any repair-man."
He had had a bath and a shave and had put on a dinner-coat, looking a lot more fit to grapple with his troubles than he had the last time I had seen him. Only in his eyes did he show the shock he'd received that day. "Communing with yourself in the dark, Bupps?" his voice was natural and easy.
