“All right,” rejoined Mr. Tallboy, “but we shan’t be able to get away till September.”

“That’s the worst of being a family man,” replied Mr. Wedderburn. “And that reminds me. Have you done anything about that series for The Nursing Times about ‘Nutrax for Nursing Mothers’?”

Mr. Tallboy thoughtlessly cursed the nursing mothers, dialled Mr. Hankin’s room on the inter-office ’phone and in a mournful tone put in a requisition for six 4-inch doubles on that inspiring subject.
