Decidedly he was not in a normal state, and his will obeyed in place of commanding.
"You've had a slight fogginess of the voice all summer." "It's this sea air," she eagerly protested. "It affects everyone." "No self-excuse, please," interrupted he. "Cigarettes, champagne, all kinds of foolish food, an impaired digestion that's the truth, and you know it." "I've got splendid digestion! I can eat anything!" she cried.
