The Doctor concluded he would, and broke the silence:
“How did you enjoy last evening?”
“Immensely.”
“Thought you would.”
“Yes? Greatly obliged for the introduction,” and Paul continued examining some illustrations in a periodical apropos of the coming coronation in England.
The Doctor determined to rivet his attention.
“I admire Adele Cultus greatly, don’t you?”
“No doubt she would look well, wearing a coronet like this—look at it.”
The Doctor did not look, but continued:
“She certainly has some ideal of her own about life in general, and, I suspect, about herself in particular.”
