In a savage, brutal manner, he ordered the doctor to 'stop his d d noise, and move on, or he'd make him!
With finicky fingers she removed the newspaper. Marjory watched her wide-eyed. Millicent was self-important. "The blue ball!" she cried in a climax of rapture.

"It was your blue ball, wasn't it, father?" "Yes."
He answered it with relief, bowing a hurried, self-important excuse to the ladies. But the voice that came over the wire was not modulated in tones of flattery.

Within, the red drawing-room had suffered conspicuous change.
