"All right, sir," Bill acquiesced, as he threw a wink to a man across the aisle and settled back in his seat. "I've got nuthin' more to say." Dr. Rannage was evidently embarrassed.

Rannage swung suddenly around on his swivel chair, "you must not get downhearted." "I am not," was the reply. "Well, perhaps you are not, but I do not like the idea of your going from me with nothing in view. Do you know the parish of Rixton?" "Yes, I have heard of it, though I know very little about it."

"I intended to be here on time, but was unavoidably detained." "I dined with the Bishop to-night," and Dr. Rannage toyed with a small paper-weight as he spoke, "and was forced to leave in the midst of a most important discussion in order to keep my appointment with you." "What were you discussing?" Douglas enquired.
A mental picture rose before him of their thin faces, turned-up noses, and prominent teeth, with their sharp sarcastic tongues as an additional horror. "It's lucky he's not married," the man who asked the last question remarked. "Why?" Dr. Rannage quickly challenged. "Have you a daughter of your own to enter the contest?"
