The
other
hurried
on
.
The
fish
course
was
grenadins
of
bass
and
small
salmon
,
the
latter
stuffed
,
and
cooked
in
white
wine
and
mushroom
liquor
.
“
I
have
read
your
poem
,
of
course
,
Mr
.
Presley
,
”
observed
Mrs
.
Gerard
.
“
’
The
Toilers
,
’
I
mean
.
What
a
sermon
you
read
us
,
you
dreadful
young
man
.
I
felt
that
I
ought
at
once
to
’
sell
all
that
I
have
and
give
to
the
poor
.
’
Positively
,
it
did
stir
me
up
.
You
may
congratulate
yourself
upon
making
at
least
one
convert
.
Just
because
of
that
poem
Mrs
.
Cedarquist
and
I
have
started
a
movement
to
send
a
whole
shipload
of
wheat
to
the
starving
people
in
India
.
Now
,
you
horrid
reactionnaire
,
are
you
satisfied
?
”
“
I
am
very
glad
,
”
murmured
Presley
.
“
But
I
am
afraid
,
”
observed
Mrs
.
Cedarquist
,
“
that
we
may
be
too
late
.
They
are
dying
so
fast
,
those
poor
people
.
By
the
time
our
ship
reaches
India
the
famine
may
be
all
over
.
”
“
One
need
never
be
afraid
of
being
’
too
late
’
in
the
matter
of
helping
the
destitute
,
”
answered
Presley
.
“
Unfortunately
,
they
are
always
a
fixed
quantity
.
’
The
poor
ye
have
always
with
you
.
’
”
“
How
very
clever
that
is
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Gerard
.
Mrs
.
Cedarquist
tapped
the
table
with
her
fan
in
mild
applause
.
“
Brilliant
,
brilliant
,
”
she
murmured
,
“
epigrammatical
.
”
