Lucas stared at the tight-lipped, elderly face, like the face of a wise and distrustful gnome, and held the pen uncertainly above the cheque form. "How much am I to write?" he asked. "I haf no instrugtions about de amount," was the reply.
"Is it because I went across the road to that little woman in Tambov?" he asked suddenly. The whiskered face answered composedly: "No. It is because you went out of your rooms and slept on de stairs." "Because" he seemed puzzled "but that is a thing why, any gentleman would do it." "Dose are my instrugtions," said the man behind the pigeon-hole. "I see."
