"Indeed," said Mr. Twist, off whose ignorance the name glanced harmlessly.
On hearing Mr. Twist's name announced, the lawyer greeted him as an old friend. He knew, of course, all about the teapot, for the Non-Trickler was as frequent in American families as the Bible and much more regularly used; but he also knew about the cottage at the foot of the hills, what it had cost which was little and what it would cost which was enormous before it was fit to live in. The only thing he didn't know was that it was to be used for anything except an ordinary pied-
Twist's room as he was pulling on his boots, and cheerfully hoped he was bearing in mind what he had been told the day he took the rooms, that they were engaged for the date of the month now arrived at. Mr. Twist paused with a boot half on. "I'm not bearing it in mind," he said, "because you didn't tell me." "Oh yes I did, Mr. Twist," said the manager briskly.
