If the straw makes trouble put it down on the bill.” He was so odd, standing there, so aggressive, with a bottle in one hand and a test tube in the other, that Mrs. Hall was quite alarmed.

      All the afternoon he worked in silence with the door locked. But once there was a sound of bottles ringing together and the smash of a bottle flung violently down, and then a rapid pacing along the room. Fearing “something was the matter,” she went to the door and listened.

      “I can't go on,” he was raving. “All my life it may take me!.. Patience! Patience indeed!.. Fool!”

      When Mrs. Hall took in his tea she saw broken glass in the corner of the room under the mirror, and a golden stain that had been carelessly wiped. She drew attention to it.

      “Put it down on the bill,” snapped her visitor. “For God's sake don't worry me,” he said and went on ticking a list in the exercise book before him.
