Two Gallants

Two young men came down the hill of Rutland Square. On of them was just bringing a long monologue to a close. The other who walked on the verge of the path and was at times obliged to step on to the road, owing to his companion's rudeness, wore an amused listening face. He was squat and ruddy. A yachting cap was shoved far back from his forehead and the narrative to which he listened made constant waves of expression break forth over his face from the corners of his nose and eyes and mouth.His eyes twinkling with cunning enjoyment glanced at every moment towards his companion's face. Once or twice he rearranged the light waterproof which he had slung over one shoulder in toreador fashion. His breeches, his white rubber shoes and his jauntily slung waterproof expressed youth. But his figure fell into rotundity at the waist his hair was scant and grey and his face, when the waves of expression had passed over it had a ravaged look
