Hanky was silent . `` I have asked , '' resumed Yram , `` Dr. Downie and Mrs. Humdrum to join , us , and after luncheon we can discuss the situation or no as you may think proper . Till then let us say no more . Luncheon will be over by two o'clock or soon after , and the banquet will not begin till seven , so we shall have plenty of time .

Hardly had they reached the Mayor 's house when the Mayor also arrived with Dr. Downie and Mrs. Humdrum , both of whom had seen and recognised my father in spite of his having dyed his hair .
