It is as good as gold." "Perfectly safe," said Lord Simpson. "Absolutely," said the secondary London lawyer. Pericault's comment was in French and not intended to be brief, but as Mr. Blithers was no longer interested, the privilege of completing his remarks was not accorded him. He did say Mon dieu under his breath, however, in the middle of his employer's next sentence.
"All right," said Mr. Blithers, "Call the cars up, waiter. Still raining?" "Yes, M'sieur. At this season of the year " "Call the cars. Let's have your bill." Pericault's cousins were reluctant to go. In fact, they protested shrilly that it was silly to break up such a successful party at such an unseemly hour. "Never mind," whispered Pericault softly, and winked.
