A pause. "Yes, dear." Mr. Mix's voice had taken on, some months ago, a permanent quality of langour; and never, since the day that he was laughed out of politics, had he regained his former dignity and impressiveness.
"Is that _you_--smoking again?"

"Why--yes, dear--I--"
"Come in here this minute."
Mr. Mix emerged from the arbor. "Yes, dear?"

he said, pacifically. "I'm coming."
