"Now, darling," said Eve when he emerged from the bathroom. "Don't waste any more time. I want you to give me your opinion about something downstairs."
I've never known your mother awful, or even a bit awful." "You aren't being intellectually honest, dad." "I am." "Ah! Well, of course she only shows her best side to you." "She has no other side. In that sense she is certainly one-sided. Here! Have another." Mr. Prohack took the apple from his pocket, and threw it across the table to Sissie, who caught it. Mr.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, but a Mr. Morfey is on the telephone and asks whether it would be convenient for you to see him to-night. He says it's urgent." Mr. Prohack braced himself, but where his stomach had been there was a void. "Had an accident to your eye-glass?" asked Mr. Prohack, shaking hands with Oswald Morfey, when the latter entered, by appointment, Mr.

"Don't you keep it in a safe?" said Miss Warburton, obeying. "All questions about necklaces should be addressed direct to Mrs. Prohack."
Asprey Chown's private room. The Terror of the departments was shaken. Ozzie laughed gently as he shut the door. "What will happen?" asked Mr. Prohack, affecting a gaiety he did not feel.
"Before lunch." Mr. Prohack paid his bill and packed. "Which way, sir?" Carthew asked, as the Eagle moved from under the portico of the hotel. "There is only one road out of Frinton," said Mr. Prohack. "It's the road you came in by. Take it. I want to get off as quickly as possible. The climate of this place is the most dangerous and deceptive I was ever in."
She did nothing so active as to weep, but tears, obeying the law of gravity, oozed out of her small eyes, and ran in zigzags, unsummoned and unchecked, down her dark-red cheeks. "Oh, sir!" she mumbled in a wee, scarcely articulate voice. "I'm a respectable woman, so help me God!" "You shall be respected," said Mr. Prohack.
