“Sit down,” invited Andy, shoving a pile of books and papers off a chair.

“Thanks. Nice day, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” answered Andy slowly, wondering what was the object of the call.

“Nice day for a walk.”

“Yes.”

“Ever go for a walk?”

“Sure. Lots of times.”

“Going to-day?”

“I don’t know. Are you?”

“Oh, I didn’t mean with me. I’ve got a date, anyhow. Say, look here, Blair, if you don’t mind me getting personal. If you were to take a walk out toward East Rock Park you might meet a friend of yours.”
