"Umm! Yes, I see! You wouldn't be against that yourself, would you?"
"Naturally not. I'm secretary of the Second Ward Suffrage Club."
"Umm! Yes, yes!" With which illuminating comment, Mr. Jaffry tapped on Penny Evans' door, opened it and entered.
"Spare a minute?" he inquired.
"Sure," said Penny; "two, ten! Take a chair."
"No," replied Mr. Jaffry, "I won't take a chair. Think better on my feet. I'm in a bit of a quandary. Suppose you tell me what this important paper is that George is drawing up. Do you know?"
"I do."
"Is he coming out against suffrage?"
"Flatly."
"Umm!" Mr. Jaffry flicked his cap about. "I want to see George. He mustn't do that."
