Then some one took his hand and ran him out of the room to the dining-room, where, his eyes wiped and his nose blown, Cousin Emmy gave him a nectarine, which she peeled for him and cut up in quarters, because it was nicer so.

Meanwhile, you must bring Hemp . . . Mr. Hempel to see us.
A stroke of luck of the first order!
