his watch missing and began "kicking himself" as the phrase goes as his
chain had been in badly worn condition for some time and he thought he
might lose his timepiece by a link breaking which was the case. Very
uncertain where to look for it, he stepped into the hotel and telephoned

few minutes later to learn that the operator found the timepiece where
he was told to look for it.
