unsuitable on purely eclectic grounds, such as garlic for breakfast, or a glass eye. How the new tenant had contrived to commend himself to mr. Mordauntwagboom is something of a mystery. Probably it was his name rather than his appearance, which was shiny, not to say seedy. He encountered the estate when that incorporated gentleman was engaged in painting the front door, and, in a deprecating voice, inquired whether twentyfive dollars a month would be considered. Maybe, returned the estate, whereupon the stranger introduced himself, with a stiff little bow, as mr. Winslow merivale.
