Mole. He then produced a pompous little agreement assigning his property and stating the con- sideration, wrote his name on it with a large flourishing hand, and passed it over with the play to his friend in need. After a moment's hesitation, during which he squashed his desire to improve the occasion with a few general remarks, Old Mole thought of the unlucky creature's three shillings and of the deliverance that fifty pounds would be to him, and at once produced his cheque-book and wrote out ...a cheque. No man has yet discovered the art of taking a cheque gracefully. Timmis shuffled it into his pocket, hemmed and ha'd for a few seconds, and then bolted. Old Mole took up his play and began to read it. It did not interest him, but he could not put it down. There was not a true emotion in it, not a reasonable man or woman, but it was full of surprising tricks and turns and quiddities, was perpetually slopping over from sugary tenderness to shy laughter, and all the MARRIAGE 113 false emotions in it were introduced so irrelevantly as never to be thoroughly cloying, and indeed some- times to give almost that sensation of delighted surprise which comes truly only from the purest and happiest art.
