We all craned up at the hole in the roof at once, like young birds, and we all distinctly saw the driver smile. "No, sir, I don't think 'e'd put it up like that that 'e was a tyler, not on 'is privit residence, sir. I think you'll find the business premises on the fust or second floor, likely." "Where's his window?" the Senator demanded. "Where's his display? No, I don't think Marcus will do for me. I'm not confiding enough. Now, _you_ don't happen to be able to recommend a tailor, do you?" "Yes, sir, I can take you to a gentleman that'll turn you out as 'andsome as need be. Out 'Ampstead way, '_e_ is." The Senator smiled. "About a three-and-sixpenny fare, eh?" he said. "Yes, sir, all of that." "I thought so. I don't mind the three and sixpence. You can't do much driving where I come from under a dollar; but we've only got about twenty-four hours for the British capital altogether, and I can't spare the time." "Suppose he drives along slowly," suggested momma. "Just so. Drive along slowly until you come to a tailor that has a shop, do you see? And a good-sized window, with waxwork figures in it to show off the goods. Then let me hear from you again." |
