He saluted Mr. Kidney respectfully, though tickled im- mensely by the discovery that that eminent gentleman was joining in the evening's fun. He saw nothing very odd in this, however, for Mr. Kidney was not, by a long way, the only grown-up who had become a boy for the night.
"That's the beat one I've scen yet, sir," he said, nodding at the guy. "It's as near life-like 2.8 makes no difference.".
