I wish you a happy New Year, sir. It was the servant, green of livery, the yellow waistcoat slashed with black, bearing the coffee and fruit. Put it there, please, Roland answered. And then, in recognition of the salutation, he added, Thanks: the same to you. H'm, he mused, as the man withdrew, I ought to have tipped him, I suppose. He leaned from the bed, poured some milk into a cup, and for a second nibbled at a slice of iced orange. Through the transom came a faint odor of home-made bread, and with it the rustle of a gown and a girl's clear laugh. The room itself was small. It was furnished in a fashion which was unsuggestive of an hotel, and yet did not resemble that of a private house. The curtain had been already drawn. Beyond was a lake, very blue in the sunlight, bulwarked by undulant hills. Below, on the road, a dogcart fronted by a groom was awaiting somebody's pleasure.
