The more recently built of these bathrooms is divided into private cubicles.
He dashed into the third of the little cubicles, and it seemed to me that in less than thirty seconds he reappeared. The change was marvelous. He was wearing a tweed suit and a gray Homburg hat. His eyeglass had gone. Even his collar and tie seemed different. He sat down before the girl and held out his hand. They listened.
