Bruce will be sorry he asked us if we're going to act like wild Indians." She had a long search before she discovered the valiant Sinbad in a far corner of the now deserted divan surrounded by a circle of kindred spirits to whom Griffin had delivered her, holding her own with great spirit and enjoyment among the dashing wit and pungent repartee. "I have something to say to you," she said, quickly. "Something likely to help you in your investigations.".
