The idea of running away as you did, and never telling any one where you were going to. I always said you were a little cracked. And letting all your things be sold! If you had only told me!
"To court whom?" laughed Paul. "He has had an invitation to go to court to see the big bugs.

There followed a few minutes of general talk and laughter, and then Archer's voice was again dominant.

When he met anyone, he immediately asked for the address, and sent next day an invitation to a little dinner.
