He had to suffer the arrangement to be made; but that night when he and Bunker withdrew to their own room, the Count perceived the makings of an argumentative evening. "Sometimes you interfere too moch," the Baron began without preamble. "Do you mind being a little more specific?" replied the Count with smiling composure. "Zere vas no hurry to lonch mit Maddison."
