“Quite.
Can’t
have
been
at
all
pleasant.”
“Presently
your
aunt
and
Angela
settled
their
discussion,
deciding
that
Angela
was
right
and
that
it
was
a
python
that
I
reminded
them
of.
And
shortly
after
that
we
all
pushed
back
to
bed,
Angela
warning
me
in
a
motherly
voice
not
to
take
the
stairs
too
quickly.
After
seven
or
eight
solid
meals,
she
said,
a
man
of
my
build
ought
to
be
very
careful,
because
of
the
danger
of
apoplectic
fits.
She
said
it
was
the
same
with
dogs.
When
they
became
very
fat
and
overfed,
you
had
to
see
that
they
didn’t
hurry
upstairs,
as
it
made
them
puff
and
pant,
and
that
was
bad
for
their
hearts.
She
asked
your
aunt
if
she
remembered
the
late
spaniel,
Ambrose;
and
your
aunt
said,
‘Poor
old
Ambrose,
you
couldn’t
keep
him
away
from
the
garbage
pail’;
and
Angela
said,
‘Exactly,
so
do
please
be
careful,
Mr.
Glossop.’
And
you
tell
me
she
loves
me
still!”
I
did
my
best
to
encourage.
“Girlish
banter,
what?”
“Girlish
banter
be
dashed.
She’s
right
off
me.
Once
her
ideal,
I
am
now
less
than
the
dust
beneath
her
chariot
wheels.
She
became
infatuated
with
this
chap,
whoever
he
was,
at
Cannes,
and
now
she
can’t
stand
the
sight
of
me.”
I
raised
my
eyebrows.
“My
dear
Tuppy,
you
are
not
showing
your
usual
good
sense
in
this
Angela-chap-at-Cannes
matter.
If
you
will
forgive
me
saying
so,
you
have
got
an
idée
fixe.”
“A
what?”
“An
idée
fixe.
You
know.
One
of
those
things
fellows
get.
Like
Uncle
Tom’s
delusion
that
everybody
who
is
known
even
slightly
to
the
police
is
lurking
in
the
garden,
waiting
for
a
chance
to
break
into
the
house.
You
keep
talking
about
this
chap
at
Cannes,
and
there
never
was
a
chap
at
Cannes,
and
I’ll
tell
you
why
I’m
so
sure
about
this.
During
those
two
months
on
the
Riviera,
it
so
happens
that
Angela
and
I
were
practically
inseparable.
If
there
had
been
somebody
nosing
round
her,
I
should
have
spotted
it
in
a
second.”
