"You're rather a difficult case," he admitted. "You'd better come round to the club and play bridge." "I never played whist-and I'm bad-tempered." "Bit of everything then." Lord Arranmore smiled.

Excerpt: ...go on the County Council." "City." "Too much money already." "Write a book." "No one would read it." "Start a magazine." "Too hard work." Mr. Hennibul sighed. "You're rather a difficult case," he admitted. "You'd better come round to the club and play bridge." "I never played whist-and I'm bad-tempered." "Bit of everything then." Lord Arranmore smiled.

"And I've failed," Hennibul declared, smiling. "Come to supper at the Savoy to-night. The two new American girls from the Lyric and St. John Lyttleton are to be there. Moderately respectable, I believe, but a bit noisy perhaps." Arranmore shook his head. "You're a good fellow, Hennibul," he said, "but I'm too old for that sort of thing." Hennibul rose to his feet. "Well," he said, "I've kept the best piece of advice till last because I want you to think of it. Marry!" Lord Arranmore did not smile. He did not immediately reply. "You are a bachelor!" he remarked. "I am a man of a different disposition," Hennibul answered. "I find pleasure in everything-everything amuses me.
