“It would be just like you to stand on the table,” she said dryly. “And if the people had any bringing up, of course they shook hands with you as with everybody else.” Bob applied his eye to the glass and confirmed his comrade’s statement. “Can’t we take some measurements?” he wanted to know. Now it was Katrina the dwarf he was inviting. She could not believe at first that she was asked to a party at Kingthorpe. “That was tough,” said Bob sympathetically. “What’d you do then?”.
