Minnie announced that a gentleman "who brought a bag" had been awaiting him since half-past five, and was now asleep on the lawn!
Didn't I make it clear that I shared in the dinner invitation?" "No, and I'm " "Don't say it!" pleaded the journalist. "If I fell from grace to-day, remember my unswerving loyalty since the hour we met on the platform at Knoleworth! Haven't I kept close as an oyster?
