"Not many shops for me to spend the money you've made, Oswald." "I've always wanted a Pl(tce, by the sea .where I could forget the shops and motor traffic and every- thing else that belongs to the world" he :aid, and his pale blue eyes he'd a wistful look. `Shall you mind, my dear, if we settle down; here?
