`` Why do you perpetrate such vandalism upon that magnificent volume under your feet ? '' `` Why ? Well , I will tell you . I was to-day at the house of Count Schulenburg-Kehnert ; he had sent me word to call on him at ten o'clock , and when I was there , he made me stand for an hour in his anteroom like his gorgeous , gilt-edged books , which his footman told me he never opens because he is afraid of injuring their gilt edges . '' `` And did he admit you after you had been in the anteroom for an hour ? '' `` No . When I had been there for an hour , he sent me word through his footman that he was too busy to receive me , and that I had better call again to-morrow .
