It was, he recognized, a plaintive and unmanly noise, but for the moment he was quite unable to suppress it. He apologized. 1 The heat... * he explained, and waved one hand limply in the direction of the windows, beyond which a good-sized lawn lay parching in the mid-morning sun. 'It's the heat.' As an excuse, this was colourable enough. The day was torrid, almost tropical, and even in the tall, shady study, its curtains half drawn to prevent wood and fabric from bleaching, the atmosphere was too oppressive for comfort. But the Headmaster spoke without conviction, and his visitor was not deceived. A period reading copy For Sale at £4.50 (approx $7) *b9 - free delivery worldwide !	Buy Secure - Enquire or Add to Cart
