“I say,” he murmured, “I say, Biddy, that’s—that’s a good one! Comic opera, what? That—that’s a good one—on me——”
His fingers slipped from the door, and he was silent.
Transcriber’s Note
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unpaireded quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unpaireded.
Transcriber removed duplicate book title just above the first story.
Page [113]: “Fairfax Carter they they should” was printed that way, but probably should be “that they”.
