But for the loss of the pearls, we should have been jubilant.
Three days had elapsed since the dog show.
The whole of the morning and part of the afternoon I had spent in a bathroom, supervising the disconnection, severance and inspection of the waste-pipe which served the basin. When, hot and dejected, I made my report at half-past three, Adèle thanked me as prettily as if I had found the pearls.
I retired to wash and change into flannels.
It must have been two hours later when I looked up from the operation of combing Nobby and took my pipe from my mouth.
"Oh, Adèle," I said simply, "I do love you so."
