I was conscious of a rather pronounced sinking feeling, which the appearance of the Pringles did nothing to allay. Sippy had described them as England's premier warts, and it looked to me as if he might be about right. Professor Pringle was a thinnish, baldish, dispeptic-lookingish cove with an eye like a haddock, while Mrs. Pringle's aspect as that of one who had had bad news round about the year 1900 and never really got over it.
