"Oh, come now, Jimmy," she pleaded, "let's trundle off to bed and forget all about it." And they did. But the next day, as Jimmy was heading for the La Salle restaurant to get his luncheon, who should call to him airily from a passing taxi but Zoie.
"Bit awkward, tipping, in these days," he apologised cheerily, depositing himself in his taxi behind ramparts of holdalls. "Thank you, Sir," seemed the suitable adieu, and having proffered it I scampered into the ward again. Anon Sister sent me with a message to the dispensary. Where the dispensary was I knew not.

The distance to Putney had incomprehensibly stretched to nine hundred and ninety-nine miles. He found Sissie in the studio giving a private lesson to a middle-aged gentleman who ought, Mr.

But he was back; if not in a minute in a little more than five minutes, still accompanied by the official, but an official magically changed into tameness and amiability, desirous to help, instructing his inferiors to carry Mr. Twist's and the young ladies' baggage to a taxi.
