All of Lily's guests had the air of being at home, and at that moment a young gentleman named Charley Goodwin, who was six feet tall and weighed two hundred pounds, was loudly demanding cocktails. They were presently brought by a rather harassed-looking man-servant. "I can't get over how well you look in that gown, Lula," declared Mrs. Dallam, as they went out to dinner.
Ida rose from the bumpy sofa and saw a thin, harassed-looking woman, more faded even than the portrait, and a tall and rather a good-looking girl whose face and figure resembled, in a vague, indefinite way, those of both her father and mother; but though she was not bad-looking, there was a touch of vulgarity in her widely opened eyes, with a curious stare for the newcomer, and in her rather coarse mouth, which appalled and repelled poor Ida; and she stood looking from one to the other, trying to keep her surprise and wonder and disapproval from revealing themselves through her eyes.
At this point the removers arrived. There were three of them. One was very fat and jovial, and one was thin and harassed-looking, and a third wore a sheepish smile and walked with a slightly unsteady gait. They made profuse apologies for their lateness. "You'd better begin with the dining-room," said Mrs. Brown. "Will you pack the china first? William, get out of the way!"
A good man who, by the way, had a pale, harassed-looking wife once told me that on each birthday and New Year's he retired to his study and spent some time behind the locked door in making good resolutions for the coming year. "I may not keep them all," he said, ingenuously, "but the exercise of forming them is edifying."
In the meantime a harassed-looking man with a short grey beard, wearing a shabby frock coat, had slipped into the room behind the Inspector. He approached Greve. "Dr. Romain?" he queried, peering through his gold spectacles, "the butler said ..." "No, my name is Greve," answered Robin. "I am staying in the house. This is Dr. Romain." He motioned to the door. Dr. Romain came bustling into the room.
