The truth is, he concealed his ac- complishments under a rather bland and benevolent exterior and looked like an ordinary, good natured, middle aged per- son in some minor line of business, with nothing especially to distinguish him from thousands of others.

He went about the reading with care and deliberation, and occasion- ally he laid down the shoot and took a few mouthfuls of dinner. Meanwhile the ncwsboy was fidgcting from one leg to another and shooting anxious glances at possible customers around the room, but the bland gentleman read on regardless. I was watching the pair out of the tail of my eye and kept track of the time by a clock that hung overhead. “Five minutes elapsed, then ten, then 15, and the ncwsboy, who had collapsed wretchcdly into a chair, began to drum the floor with his feet. ”Vtht’s the mat- ter with you'.” said the bland man, look- ing up, ‘you’re the most nervous child I ever saw in my life.
