Mr. Locke avoided answer by calling loudly for a waiter, but when the orders had been taken Kirk repeated:
"Where did you play, Mr. Locke?"
"Left tackle."
"What university?"
"Oh one of the Southern colleges. It was a freshwater school—you wouldn't know the name." He changed the subject quickly by adding:
"I just got into town this morning and I'm sailing to-morrow. I couldn't catch a boat to-day, so I'm having a little blow-out on my own account. When I recognized you all, I just butted in. New York is a lonesome place for a stranger. Hope you don't mind my joining you."
"Not at all!" he was assured.
When he came to pay the waiter he displayed a roll of yellow-backed bills that caused Anthony to caution him:
"If I were you I'd put that in my shoe. I know this place."
