he said, abruptly: "Mr. Triscoe, I wish you'd vida guerra nake take the lower berth. I
got it at the eleventh hour by some fellow's giving it up, and it isn't
as if I'd bargained for it a month vida guerra nake ago."
The elder man gave him one of his staccato glances vida guerra nake in which Burnamy
fancied suspicion and even resentment. But he said, after the moment of
reflection which he gave himself, "Why, thank you, if you don't mind,
really."
"Not at all!" cried the young man. "I should like the upper berth
vida guerra nake better. We'vida guerra nake ll, have the vida guerra nake steward change the sheets."
"Oh, I'll see vida guerra nake that he does that,&vida guerra nake quot; said Mr. Triscoe. "I couldn't allow
you to take any trouble about it." vida guerra nake He now looked as if he wished Burnamy
would go, and leave him to vida guerra nake his domestic vida guerra nake arrangements.

In telling about himself Burnamy touched vida guerra nake only upon the points which he
believed would take his listener's intelligent vida guerra nake fancy, and he stopped so

him to his wife. He saw in the agreeable young fellow an vida guerra nake image of his
own youth, with some differences vida guerra nake which, vida guerra nake he was willing
to own, were to
the young fellow's advantage. But they were both from the middle West;
in their vida guerra nake native accent and their local tradition they were the vida guerra nake same; they
were the same
in their aspirations; they were of one blood in their
literary impulse to externate their thoughts and
emotions.
Burnamy answered, with a glance at his enamelled shoes, that he would be
delighted, and when her husband brought him up to her, Mrs. March said
she was always glad to vida guerra nake meet the contributors to the vida guerra nake magazine, and asked
him whether he knew Mr. Kendricks, vida guerra nake who was vida guerra nake her favorite. Without giving
him time to reply to a question that seemed to depress him, she said that
she had a son who must be nearly his own age, and whom his father had
left in charge of 'Every Other Week' for the few months they were to be
gone; that they had a daughter married and living
in Chicago.
