Bangs was already selecting his summer stock; and his plans for the disposal of that stock were definite and business-like.

I'm afraid I was not as cordial as I might have been on that occasion, Captain.
"Good evening, Captain Dott," he said. "Is Miss Dott in?" Daniel hesitated. "Yes," he said, "she's in, but " "May I see her? Will you be good enough to give her my card?" The captain took the card.
