At this moment, as if Providence had arranged the matter, who should walk into the room but Christopher himself. He looked as gray as his own clothes, and his face was so marked by exhaustion that Arthur thought of him as unwashed. He was lined and haggard, with his hair untidy, his eyes heavy, the gray flannel collar round his neck crumpled, the black tie disarranged, his clothes old and dusty.

" Christopher stopped her, saying that he could very easily satisfy his wants from the dessert on the table ; and, then, turning to his father, explained with a smile, as if to warn him not to be too warm in his welcome, that he had come to beg.
