As Fred closed the door upon him, the naked one was rubbing himself violently with Mrs. Keep's yellow golf-jacket. In his own room Fred collected a suit of blue serge, a tennis shirt, boots, even a tie. Underclothes he found ready laid out for him, and he snatched them from the bed. From a roll of money in his bureau drawer he counted out a hundred dollars.
