Chapter X
The door was opening; he heard that warm vibrating voice: “Come along, Phyllis!”--the girl's laugh so high and fresh: “Right-o! Coming!” And with, perhaps, the first real tremor he had ever known, he crossed to the front door. All the more chivalrous to escort them to the tram without a hat! And suddenly he heard: “I've got your hat, young man!”
