"The lady who occupies the room with me is very agreeable," was her next observation. "She offered to do anything she could to relieve my head last night, and this morning she bathed it with cologne for half an hour."
"She sits opposite us at the table," I said. "With her uncle."
"I am glad of that. I feel quite acquainted with her now."
Then she assayed a question of the sort that eminate from women.
"Don't you think her very handsome?"
"She's not bad looking," I admitted.
"I call her magnificent. Such a face and form do not often go together."
I wanted to reply, "So she said in her advertisement," but I merely nodded.
"There is another woman on this boat that I would not exchange for a thousand of her," I said, presently, in a low voice.
"Point her out to me," said Miss May. "I would like to know what your ideal is."
