"The boys send it to me. Anything new that comes out, or anything they think will suit my voice, they post to me at once." "Yes?" says Mona, who looks and is, intensely interested.

"Well?" says Sir Nicholas, as a deadly silence continues for some time after their departure, "what do you think of her?" No one is listening, fortunately, to this gratuitous correction, or hot words might have been the result.
