Englishman somehow conveyed the impression that he would not expect to be treated in re turn by his new acquaintance, who was pre pared to take advantage of his liberality.

The garish underground saloon into which they descended was almost empty at that early hour of the evening. Drinks having been set before them at one of the circular tables, the host subjected his guest to a scrutiny so searching that its object broke into a laugh.
