to give dinners; you're a sort of automatic feeding-machine. You ought
to stand open all day. Really, I often miss you at lunch time."
"My dear Beatrice!" said Mrs. Kennett Hipgrave, with that peculiar
lift of her brows that meant, "How naughty the dear child is! Oh, but
how clever!"
"It's all right," said Hamlyn, meekly. "I'm awfully happy to give you
a dinner, anyhow, Miss Beatrice."
Now, I had nothing to say on this subject, but I thought I would just

"Really, I don't recollect," said Hamlyn, rather petulantly.
"It doesn't matter," observed Beatrice, attacking her oysters, which
