Vivacious young men and benevolent officers have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, spick and span in white duck and their winningest smiles. Entertainments dovetail till there is barely time for change of costume between acts.

Events dovetail too perfectly for us to ignore the fact that however right Evelyn Rogers may believe she is she may be wrong!" "And I'm not forgetting, either " said Leverage grimly, "that Hazel Gresham was engaged to marry Warren!" "No.
