As Quentin and his menagerie were an interruption to my interview with the Department of Justice, I suggested that he go into the next room, where four Congressmen were drearily waiting until I should be at leisure.

The king snake, by the way, although most friendly with Quentin, had just been making a resolute effort to devour one of the smaller snakes.
