She'll keep him there, of course, until I get home, so I\u003cbr\u003eshall see him this evening. Now, before you meet him, I want you to\u003cbr\u003eplainly understand the truth about this unfortunate affair; and that's\u003cbr\u003ewhy I telephoned your gimlet-eyed friend Neergard just now to let you\u003cbr\u003ecome around here for half an hour.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe boy nodded and, drawing a gold matchbox from his waistcoat pocket,\u003cbr\u003elighted his cigarette.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147567710448,"sku":"2940013414327","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013414327_p0.jpg?v=1763580935","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013414327","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
