FORE:It seemed, however, not to be in Mr Keelings power to do what he thought wisest, for after a minute or two of ringing silence, he appeared with the news that there were no cabs to be got. It was snowing heavily and they were all out.I wonder if you would do me a great favour, he said bluntly.

Now youre going to be very good and dry your eyes, and sit down again by the fire, while I fetch you something to eat. Youve had nothing.
