We might be observed," said the president, looking up and down the river; "and in my public position the consequences would be painful for the party. And, at any rate, it's dinner-time." "What?" cried Gideon, plunging for his watch. "And so it is! Great heaven, the piano should have been here hours ago!"

But I'm not going to take advantage of your urbanity and your easy-going ways. I hope that some day we may meet somewhere when I haven't had influenza and am a not wholly undesirable acquaintance.
