Sit down for a moment, will you, and Mr. Thomas, oblige me by taking away this rot and rewriting it entirely in the sense I have outlined."

He dropped into a chair with the same fixed look, humming softly to himself and every now and again shaking back his wavy hair, began writing line after line, sometimes scratching out and rewriting.
