"Can you beat that?" exclaimed the Captain enthusiastically, "lifted her clean away!"
"Try up towards Charing Cross Road, not the other way," she advised earnestly. "Right-oh!" he replied, which illuminative form of assent, a word spoken as he plunged unwillingly into the thick obscurity on the other side of the revolving doors, was probably the last he ever uttered on earth.

Wish you'd look me up Half Moon Club'll get me 'most any time. We'll have to arrange to make a regular old-fashioned night of it, just for memory's sake." Duncan nodded, edging past him. "I've memories enough," he said. "Right-oh! Any reason at all, y'know, just so we have the night." "Good enough," assented Duncan vaguely. He suffered his hand to be wrung with warmth.
