A few minutes later, he went out of the room and, acting on an impulse, I got up from my seat and walked over to where the lady was sitting.

It so happened that she was sitting in a position where she was facing me and, during the argument, she looked in my direction. Being naturally gallant and dekiring to help the lady, I put up two fingers to signify that the word "efferevesâ€" cent" had two "f‘s", but all I got for my pain was the stony stare that only a wellâ€"bred Englishwoman can give.
