"It will all depend upon yourself. And then what sort of Lafitte can you have here? Some muddy brew or other?" "We have good Lafitte," contradicted the girl touchily. "Two roubles a bottle.
"Then it's not the page-boy!" exclaimed Tommy, thankfully. "Perhaps I am 'Scholastic," suggested Pym. "No," said Tommy, after a long study of his face. Pym followed this reasoning, and said touchily, "Many a schoolmaster has a red face." "Not that kind of redness," explained Tommy, without delicacy. "I am 'H and H," said Pym. "You forget you wrote to me as one person," replied Tommy. "So I did.
His deep voice had been very kindly; his clipped mustache was trim; his nails, which had been ragged at that commercial-college lunch, were manicured now; he was sure of himself, while Walter Babson doubted and thrashed about.

"I didn't ask you to come and make fun of me," Virginia replied touchily.

As to the box, I have certainly never before seen one like it. It contained delicate machinery; of that I am convinced, from the way in which the men handled it and spoke of it."
