They had Sunday dinner with the Smails, in a dining-room which centered about a fruit and flower piece and a crayon-enlargement of Uncle Whittier.
Holcombe was measuring with a pocket tape-measure. "You are sure you didn't take it away yourself, Mrs. Pitman?" he asked. "Sure? Why, I could hardly lift it," I said.
