“I don’t see, Mollie,” he remarked, taking a cigar from the box on the table as his sister and daughter rose, “why you and Vee shouldn’t discuss this little affair —whatever it is—without bothering me. It was not in evidence here, not a sign of it. And, if you hear any odd noise in the parlour, don't mind it. " "Thames!"
