Both were supper parties.

The first I gave in honor of my companion, for the reason that we both like the Shoreham cafe, and that a party seemed to be about due.

That party brought on the other, which occurred a few nights later and was given by us jointly in honor of a very beautiful and talented young actress.

And this one, we agree, was, in a way, the most amusing of all the parties we have had together.
It was early in the morning, when we were leaving the cafe after the first party, that we encountered the lady who caused the second one.

I had never met her, but I was aware that my companion knew her, for he talked about her in his sleep.
