He has the best room in the hotel; the only trouble is that it doesn't face the sun all day; he's not used to being in the shade, and you'll hear him damn the limelight-man in heaps one of these fine mornings.

"Why do you ask ?" he was constrained to add.

It would have been an excellent opportunity for prosecuting your own rather enterprising studies." One would have thought that one's displeasure was plain enough at last; but not a bit of it.
