"What's the matter with you?" said the girl laughing. "I suppose he just woke up and walked off when you weren't looking."

"He was dead."
"Dead!" she cried. "Are you mad?"
Greg shook his head. "Dead as mutton!"
Her lip trembled like a child's. "Good heavens, what a city this is!"
"So it seems!" said Greg grimly.
