However , I dressed as expeditiously as possible . The novelty of the adventure rather pleased me . I always liked doing unusual things . Anything was better than lounging away the evening at my hotel . It could n't do any harm . I owed Clark Oliver a good turn and I would save Mrs. Kennedy the annoyance of a vacant chair . There was no disputing the fact that I looked most disgustingly like Clark when I got into his clothes . I actually felt a grudge against them for their excellent fit . `` You 'll do , '' said Clark . `` Remember you 're a Conservative to-night and do n't let your rank Liberal views crop out , or you 'll queer me for all time with the great and only Mark . He does n't talk politics at his dinners , though , so you 're not likely to have trouble on that score . Mrs. Kennedy has a weakness for beer mugs . Her collection is considered very fine . Scandal whispers that Miss Harvey has a budding interest in settlement work -- '' `` Miss who ? '' I said sharply . `` Harvey . Christian name unknown . That 's the girl I mentioned . You 'll probably take her in . Be nice to her even if you have to make an effort .
She 's the one I 've picked out XXXXX your future cousin , you know , so I do n't want you to spoil her good opinion of me in any way . ''
