第82页 - To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit? " he asked. " Was it discreet of you to come together in this way? But you are most welcome. Place chairs for the ladies, Barrat." Kalonay glanced at the others, and they nodded to him as though to make him their spokesman. He pointed at Gordon with his cap.
