"Good evenin', Teddy," he said, breezily, with a side-glance at his hostess. "What a lovely day we've 'ad." "So bright," said Mrs. Silk, nodding with spirit. Mr. Wilks sat down and gave vent to such a cheerful laugh that the ornaments on the mantelpiece shook with it. "It's good to be alive," he declared.

If Ginger had seemed a new Ginger to Sally, still more did this seem a new Bugs Butler to Mr. Burrowes, and the manager groaned in spirit.
"You see," she confided, "Victor and I were engaged to be married, so naturally I let him help me a little. I shan't be able to stay on here now.
