He has a way of laughing that makes other people laugh. You couldn't be mean to him if you tried." Already, Judy had unconsciously set herself the task of protecting Mr. James Lufton from the fate planned for Miss Slammer.
Judy had changed her best velvet for a walking skirt and a red sweater and Jimmy Lufton glanced at her with admiration from time to time. "It's a mighty becoming way of dressing you young ladies have here," he said. "Those sweaters and tam o' shanters are prettier to me than the fittest clothes on Fifth Avenue."

"We are very glad to see you, Mr. Slammer " Jimmy broke into his inimitable laugh. "My name is Lufton," he said, and the mistake seemed so funny that Judy laughed, too, and everybody felt more at ease immediately. "We were to have had you up to breakfast I mean Miss Slammer," Judy stammered. "I'll get something er somewhere," said Jimmy in a reassuring tone.
'Sir! said the doctor, in an awful voice, producing a card, and retiring into an angle of the passage, 'my name is Slammer, Doctor Slammer, sir 97th Regiment Chatham Barracks my card, Sir, my card.

Having ordered the attendants to retire, and closed the door very carefully, he said, 'Mr. Winkle, I presume? 'My name is Winkle, sir. 'You will not be surprised, sir, when I inform you that I have called here this morning on behalf of my friend, Doctor Slammer, of the 97th. 'Doctor Slammer! said Mr. Winkle. 'Doctor Slammer. Mr.
