Not an ordinary gas-flame a very extra-special kind of gas-flame. Know anything about Renwright's ionization-work?" "Renwright he's an IP man isn't he?" "Right.

They have their own police pass for the war-zone, but all special plums are for the Becketts, shared by the O'Malleys; and this visit to the trenches was an extra-special superplum.
