      There would be ample time for Packy to look in at the barber-
shop of the hotel Northumberland...
      But Packy wasn’t in the frame of mind to devote much atten-
tion to the matter. Sitting down to wait he have himself up to long,
loving thoughts about Beatrice. A quarter of an hour later, he awoke
to discover that the place was still entirely free from barbers...Unaware
of this, Packy continued to sit perplexed. And he just decided to give
the thing up, when the telephone rang at his elbow.
      To ignore a ringing telephone is one of the feats of which hu-
manity has so far proved to be incapable.
      «Packy, hullo. Say, how many more times have I got to call up
before I get a little service? Do you think that I have nothing better to
do than sit here trying to get a barber-shop on the wire?»
      «I want you to send here a man at once. I want my hair cut.»
      It was on the ti p of Packy’s tongue to inform the Senator that
he himself was in precisely the same situation. But even he opened his
mouth to reveal this he became aware of a disturbing emotion. Yet, in
his past before he had come to know Beatrice, such an opportunity
to pull other person’s leg would have enchanted him.
      But after all, Beatrice wouldn’t wish him to reject the opportunity
to meet the famous Senator Opal. Besides to go upstairs and give this
celebrity a haircut would be to perform an altruistic act.
      Beatrice, he saw now, would be the first to applaud the bring-
ing of aid and comfort to a distressed Senator.
