"At the Royal Automobile Club, to which he belonged for the sake of its swimming-bath and because it was near to Rodd's, Severidge had swum four lengths and eaten four sandwiches. This energetic and frugal process had been accurately timed. It was not his habit to be either early or late. No timepiece ever contradicted him unless it was wrong, and when he looked inquiringly at the post-office clock at the bottom of St. James's, it replied obediently : "Two-thirteen". At a q uarter past, h e would be on the steps of Rodd's. In that ancient club, he would drink a glass of brown sherry and play one rubber of bridge. From three-fifteen his car would be waiting for him. At three-forty-five or earlier he would be back in the chairman's room of Combined Metallurgical Industries -- his first afternoon appointment, with Haslip of the Treasury, was at three-fifty -- and would work there until he drove back to South Street to dress for dinner." |
