The hotel men were more than obsequious; the military men and citizens were exceedingly deferential; the women who strolled on the piazza or in the great garden back of the hotel were discreetly curious. "We seem to be the whole show here, Gren," said Anguish, as they sat down at one of the tables in the garden. "I guess Americans are rare."
Say, Gren, I have killed a man. Dannox got my bullet right in the head and he never knew what hit him. Ghastly, isn't it? I feel beastly queer. It was he who turned on the lights and went at you with a club. I heard you call, and was in the door just as he hit you. His finish came inside of a second. You and he spoiled the handsomest rug I ever saw." "Ruined it?" "Not in her estimation.

"There's no question about it! It's a case of abduction, and we have it in our power to spoil the whole job. By Gad, but this is luck, Gren!" Anguish was quivering with excitement as he rose to his feet.
"Wasn't it ridiculous of me? I know Gren would have forbidden it if he had been in Edelweiss when I started.
