"I'm

I

a

"said
Mr.
Wade
with
engaging
frankness.
"It's
an
extraordinary
thing,
but
wherever
I
happen
to
be
staying,
I'm
always

to
be

"Very
extraordinary,"

Lady
Coote.
"I

Mr.

suggested
Lady
Coote.
"Oh!"
said
Mr.
Wade.
The
simplicity
of
the
solution
rather
took
him
aback.
Meanwhile
the
expedition
was
doing
well.
The
principal
emporium
of
Market

had
been
invaded
and
the
sudden
demand
for,

was
considerably

Jimmy,
who
was
of

mechanical

of

had
at

grasped
the

For
the
next
five
minutes
the
shop
was
hideous
with
the
loud
raucous
ringing
of

Indeed
at
this
precise
moment
Lady
Coote
was
detailing
a
long
story
about

a

and
enjoying
herself
very
much.
The
clocks
were
wrapped
up
and

The
