Then Bruce appeared, held out his hand cordially, and said, 'Ah, Raggett, here you are! A Musical Afternoon Lord Selsey often said he disapproved of the ordinary subdivisions of a house, and, especially as he lived alone, he did not see why one should breakfast in a breakfast-room, dine in a dining-room, draw in a drawing-room, and so on. Nevertheless, he had one special room for music.
It won't matter if he calls here in the afternoon some day, but for a man like that, I'd rather yes the Savoy. You look as if you objected. Do you? 'Not at all. It'll be rather fun. But I'm so glad you can afford it. We haven't an account there, you know. 'I propose to make a slight sacrifice for once.... I will engage a table and telephone to Raggett.

Because it would be a terrible fatigue for me. I shouldn't be able to stand it. In fact I'm not sure that I ought to see Raggett at all. 'Don't, then. Leave a message to say that after all you didn't feel strong enough.
'No, it is not all. It will give you a shock, what I'm going to tell you now. At the office at the office, mind I received a letter from Raggett, written on a crumpet. 'On a what? 'On a crumpet.
