O. J. L.—Has Myers gone right away?
"I have spoken, but I will speak again, if you keep quiet (meaning K. K.). Do cease to think, or you are useless. Tell Lodge I can't explain half his boy is to me. I feel as if I had my own dearly loved son here, yet I know he is only lent to me.
"Pardon me if I rarely use you (to K. K.); I can't stand the way you bother."—Myers.
K. K.—Do you mean the way I get nervous if I am taking a message from you?
"Yes, I do."
[This interpolated episode was commented on by O. J. L. as very characteristic.]
O. J. L.—Is Raymond still there?
Yes.
O. J. L.—Raymond, do you know we've got that photograph you spoke of? Mrs. Cheves sent us it, the mother of Cheves—Captain Cheves, you remember him?
Yes, I know you have the photograph.
